The Darling Harbour Christmas tree is lit at the end of November, with Santa and fireworks, and there are carols every night from Thursday to Sunday by the tree until Christmas. The Queen Victoria Building houses a tree with 40,000 lights and 15,000 Swarovski crystals. The Eveleigh Christmas Market has 70 authentic stands, food stalls, farmer’s market, and street performers. A giant Sydney Christmas Parade marches down George Street on November 28th each year. Bondi Beach Summer of Fun on Christmas Day is a day when national and international DJs spin disks for the party animals in the crowd. Sydney Hotels may be at capacity, so reserve ahead for the holidays. Many people pack rugs and picnics to enjoy carols, kids’ performances and Santa at any one of the Village Family Christmas Concerts in different areas: Elizabeth Bay, Rosebery, and Surry Hills among them.
