The Rockingham Foreshore will light up on Friday 4 December at the official launch of the City of Rockingham’s Christmas lights display. Running from 5pm to 8.30pm, this free, family-friendly event has something for everyone.
There will be plenty of festive fun for the whole family. Santa and some of his friends have made the trip all the way from the North Pole, and little ones can write him a Christmas letter and post it in the special Santa letterbox. If Christmas music is more your style, stage entertainment will keep the merriness going all night, with community and professional performers sharing new and old favourites. You can also get a head start on your Christmas shopping, with market stalls offering a variety of local, handmade and artisan gifts. If all that makes you hungry, a range of delicious food vendors and local businesses will have plenty to serve up.
Still wanting more? Christmas-themed roving performers and characters will be around for photos and festive interactions throughout the event. Kids will be spoilt for choice, with multiple craft activities, a high-energy Bungee Trampolines Zone and the opportunity to hear stories about the Nyoongar Christmas tree. Or perhaps a visit to the snow pit, perfect for kids of all ages, is more your speed. Don’t forget to stop by for facepainting or glitter art before making the most of the many photo opportunities throughout the event. The official launch of the City’s Christmas lights display will take place at 8pm, with a very special guest in a red suit helping to do the honours.
This is an inclusive event. An AUSLAN interpreter will be on stage, and a sensory chill-out zone will be available for anyone needing a moment of calm.
Road closures will be in place, with free parking available at Village Green oval. Tow-away zones will be enforced, so please ensure you park in designated areas and follow signage. Alternatively, you can walk or take public transport, with the 555 bus route operating throughout the event.
The City’s Christmas lights will remain on display across Churchill Park, the Beach Plaza and Railway Terrace at Rockingham Foreshore throughout December.
The Rockingham Foreshore will light up with Christmas cheer this festive season. Make it an occasion for the whole fam. For more information, you can visit the website.
