Double Bay Christmas Festival

Overview

We're almost only a month out from Christmas, so it's time to start feeling the holiday cheer and get a head start on that gift list. Cambridge Markets are kicking off the season with a range of festive events across Sydney, with the Double Bay Christmas Festival popping up in the eastern suburbs at the end of November.

From 11am–8pm on Saturday, November 30, head to waterside Steyne Park for family-friendly activities galore. Ditch the generic presents for something artisanal and locally crafted this year with 100-plus stalls selling everything from homewares and plants to sweet treats and snacks, candles, jewellery and art. There'll also be live entertainment while you shop and a raffle with prizes from neighbourhood businesses.

When you need a break from browsing, grab a bite from the food stalls and keep the little ones entertained with carnival attractions, face painting, pony rides and photos with Santa himself.

From 6.30pm, there'll be a concert featuring artists Hugh Sheridan, Paulini and Chris Sebastian, supported by a carols band and performers from Kambala School. Finish off the evening with a bang, as fireworks light up the sky.
