With free children’s workshops and a float competition, it’s the perfect evening to kick off the festive season in Mandurah!
About the Event
Get ready for a magical evening at the City of Mandurah Christmas Pageant, presented by Ray White Mandurah.
This exciting event marks the beginning of the Christmas in Mandurah series and celebrates the grand opening of the Christmas Lights Trail.
The festivities start at 6pm with a dazzling community pageant featuring approximately 30 beautifully decorated floats parading through central Mandurah. Find the perfect spot along the route and witness the creativity of our local community groups and businesses as they light up the night with festive cheer.
From 7pm to 9pm, enjoy an array of family-friendly entertainment, including live Christmas carols performed by the Mandurah Concert Band and a visit to Santa’s Grotto for memorable photo opportunities with Santa and his elves! Delicious treats from a variety of food trucks will be available to keep you fuelled throughout the evening.
Children can take part in free workshops filled with fun and creative activities, making sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. As a special highlight, the evening will also mark the official first night of the Christmas Lights Trail, adding an extra sparkle to the event.
Don’t miss out on the float competition either, where we’ll be awarding exciting prizes for the best entries: $1000 for first prize, $500 for second, and $250 for third. The winners will be announced on stage following the pageant.
Why not make a night of it? Grab some food from the nearby local restaurants, pick up your favourite takeaway, or bring along a picnic to enjoy with family and friends as you take in the festivities and admire the beautiful lights. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the community spirit while celebrating the start of the Christmas season.
