Ipswich City Lighting of the Christmas Tree
Ipswich City Lighting of the Christmas Tree 2025
In d’Arcy Doyle Place, the City Christmas Tree will be officially illuminated in a heartwarming community gathering, proudly powered by Energex.

A special early appearance by Santa Claus from 6.45 pm adds to the excitement, offering the perfect chance for holiday photos and Christmas cheer. The lighting ceremony will take place at 7.00 pm, marking the start of the festive season in a magical and memorable way.
Extend the celebrations over at the Nicholas Street Precinct with Santa and Sirens from 5:00 pm
The Christmas Tree Lights will remain on until January 5th 2025.
