Santa’s coming to town, and he’s got a brand-new home!

The magic of Christmas is coming to Hyperdome, and you’re invited to celebrate with us!

Join us on Saturday 7 November as we roll out the festive cheer and welcome the big man in red with a spectacular Santa’s Arrival Parade, filled with colourful characters, live music and plenty of Christmas magic.

From dancing elves and larger-than-life reindeer to some of your favourite Christmas friends, there’s something magical waiting around every corner.

Follow the Festive Fun!

Starting outside BIG W at 10am, Santa and his merry crew will make their way through the Centre, spreading Christmas cheer along the way!

Led by a lively brass band, the parade will feature some very special festive friends, including:

• Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
• Frosty the Snowman
• The Gingerbread Man
• Mrs Claus; and
• Santa’s cheerful little helpers.

Keep your eyes peeled for dazzling Christmas baubles on skates, playful elves, towering reindeer stilt walkers and plenty of festive surprises!

The parade will travel through the Piazza and The Market Room before making its grand finale at Santa’s brand-new home Under the Dome in Centre Court.

A Brand-New Home. A Whole Lot of Christmas Magic! 🎄

The Christmas excitement doesn’t stop when the parade ends!

At 11am, join Santa and a special guest for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony as we unveil Santa’s brand-new home for the very first time.

It’s a magical moment you won’t want to miss, as we officially open the doors to Santa’s New Home Under the Dome and kick off Santa Photography for the festive season!
