Community spirit was sky high at the Darwin Christmas Pageant over the weekend. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the beginning of the festive season! 🎁🎅

This year's floats were so creative, reflecting the thought and hard work that went into bringing them to life!

Some float participants chose to lean into the "Very Darwin" theme by showcasing our amazing lifestyle, featuring many fishing themed floats and even special guests from the Territory Wildlife Park. Other floats were more traditional, featuring cheeky elves, dashing reindeers, frosty snowmen and beautiful Christmas Trees 🎄

After the parade there were special performances from the incredible Baby Ballerinas and talented Shalom Kaa, before the the annual lighting of the Christmas Tree ✨

We loved every moment from this year's pageant and are thrilled that the festive season has officially arrived in Darwin! 🌴

16/11/2024

It’s finally here - A Very Darwin Christmas Pageant kicks off at 5.30pm tonight 🎄

The stockings have been stuffed, tinsel has been hung and Santa Claus is on his way… 🎅

We can’t wait to see all the smiling faces enjoy this year’s parade 🤩

Don’t forget there’s live performances to keep the whole family entertained, while we wait for the sun to set so we can light the Christmas Tree ✨
