Santa and Sirens 2025
Families are invited to enjoy a festive celebration where holiday magic meets real-life heroes. This special event brings Santa and friends together with a display of emergency service vehicles, all decorated for the season. Visitors can meet the local crews, explore the vehicles up close and snap memorable Christmas photos surrounded by lights, laughter and community spirit. It is a unique opportunity to celebrate the joy of the season while acknowledging those who serve and protect the community all year round.
Adding to the cheer, Journey Church will perform live Christmas carols, filling the evening with music and festive ambience. Once the fun wraps up, the celebrations continue just a short stroll away at d’Arcy Doyle Place for the Official Lighting of the City Christmas Tree, ensuring the night finishes on a magical note. This event is free to attend and requires no bookings, making it the perfect family outing to embrace the spirit of Christmas.
