Kenilworth Christmas Show
Celebrate the festive season this December 2026 at the Kenilworth Christmas Show at the Kenilworth Showgrounds. Local families and kids can enjoy free carnival rides, face painting, and balloon art before greeting Santa, browsing food trucks, entering the Mega Raffle, and watching the spectacular fireworks finale.
Kenilworth Christmas Show 2026
The Kenilworth Christmas Show is back for 2026! It’s another huge afternoon and evening of Christmas fun for the whole family at the Kenilworth Showgrounds.
Free rides and free admission kick off from 3pm, with Santa arriving at 6pm, the Mega Raffle drawn at 7pm and a fireworks finale at 8pm. There’s also face painting, a balloon artist, food trucks and plenty of festive atmosphere. Visitors are encouraged to bring chairs or a picnic blanket, settle in and enjoy the afternoon with family and friends.
Santa’s gift giving is back again this year too! Parents can arrange a gift for their child through participating Kenilworth businesses, so look out for the “Santa Shops Here” signs throughout Kenilworth closer to the event.
The legendary Mega Raffle returns with incredible prizes generously donated by local businesses and supporters. Every raffle ticket helps keep this wonderful event free for the community.
Save the date, invite family and friends, and follow the event page for more details, raffle prizes, sponsors and updates over the coming months.
