Very Darwin Christmas

Darwin City Council

A Very Darwin Christmas Pageant will make its merry return to the heart of Darwin City on Saturday 16 November 2024 delivered in partnership with Activate Darwin and the Northern Territory Government.

This year’s pageant promises more parading, dancing and vehicle-led floats, as well as fun entertainment for the whole family, and of course the Lord Mayor’s lighting of the Christmas Tree!

The most exciting way to participate in this year’s Christmas Pageant is by registering a float as part of the parade. Sing, dance, march or drive your way through Darwin City Centre, spreading Christmas cheer and joy to all those who watch.

Community groups, schools, businesses, and not-for-profits are encouraged to get into the Christmas spirit by registering their float for this year’s pageant.

This year’s pageant will kick-off at the earlier time of 5.30pm, meaning more time spreading Christmas cheer!

Expressions of interest to register a float in the pageant will close on Monday 16 September. To register your float, click
