Christmas is coming to Melbourne! Join the celebrations as we officially open the City of Melbourne's Christmas Festival for 2023.
Enjoy festive performances on the main stage at Fed Square before the countdown to the main event – the lighting of the giant 17.5m Christmas Tree for the first time. Experience the magic of this light and sound show before heading down to Southbank for a spectacular laser and water display at the brand new Christmas River Show.
This is a Christmas Festival event, presented by City of Melbourne with support from the Victorian Government and Fed Square. Once again, Christmas Square and the Christmas Projections are lighting up with 100% wind powered Christmas cheer.
