FREE XMAS FESTIVAL IN ROSEBERY

FREE festive fun in your neighbourhood roseberyxmas

Get into the spirit of Christmas and join us at the Rosebery Christmas concert at Turruwul Park. Bring your family, friends and a picnic blanket for a night of music and entertainment hosted by the X Factor’s Luke Jacobz.

We’ll have music for everyone, including Lah Lah’s BIG Live Band who will get the kids up and rocking, and later on the adults can enjoy some funky live world music from Samba Mundi. Get that warm, fuzzy Christmasy feeling when the Australian Children’s Music Foundation Choir sing seasonal carols.

We’ll also have a new hi-striker game and craft activities for the kids, a sausage sizzle, delicious gelato and fab showbags for a $2 donation (limited supply so get in quick!). All proceeds go to our charity partner, Australian Children’s Music Foundation.

The Lord Mayor will share a Christmas message with you and Santa will be making a special visit from the North Pole. To top off the evening we’ll be lighting up the night with some beautiful fireworks.

Join us this year for a little bit of Christmas magic in the heart of Rosebery.
