Santa lights the way

Six free children’s concerts, Christmas markets, choirs, lights, a visit from Santa and the adored Martin Place Christmas tree will transform Sydney for the 2023 festive season.

The City of Sydney’s four-week Christmas celebration in the city centre and local neighbourhoods started on Saturday 25 November.

“We’re bringing a touch of Christmas magic to the city with lights, music, markets and a visit from the jolly man in red,” Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore AO said.

“Sydney sparkles and buzzes at this time of year, with the majestic Christmas tree in Martin Place a worthy centrepiece. We welcome families, shoppers and visitors to come in and soak up the festive atmosphere.”
