Sydney Christmas Fair

Overview

While kids may get excited about Santa coming down chimneys, Rudolph's red nose and magical gift-making elves, that doesn't mean Christmas has to be devoid of charm for us kidults. Head down to Moore Park this holiday season (kids in tow or not) and you'll find a Christmas-themed family-friendly extravaganza. Taking over the Entertainment Quarter for the first two weekends of December, the Sydney Christmas Fair will provide all the festive fun you could ask for.

If you're keen to get a dose of adrenaline, tear your way around the dodgem cars, hop on a carousel and soar through the sky on the Wave Swinger. Or, check out the vast amount of Carnival-style games, then cool off by racing down a giant water slide. There'll also be a gingerbread house party, dress up competitions, creative workshops, photo ops with Santa and an outdoor cinema screening Christmas classics, naturally.

There is a global pandemic to be mindful of, so expect extra hygiene facilities and social distancing measures to be in place during your visit. Pre-booking tickets is encouraged and you can do so over here.

Sydney Christmas Fair is running from December 4–6 and December 11–13. It is open 5–7pm on Friday, 10am–9pm Saturday and 10am–4pm on Sunday.
