Christmas Decorations in the City

Find Christmas cheer and joy across the city with sparkling lights, colourful decorations and the arrival of all of your favourite festive characters.

Giant ribbons, Christmas cubes and bauble pole lights

The giant Christmas tree is decorated with 210 gold and red bows and 450 matching baubles, all illuminated for a festive touch! Snap a festive photo with your family and friends against one of our giant community Christmas card cubes located in Victoria square/Tarntanyangga and North Adelaide (Sir EdwinSmith Avenue & Brougham Place). The cheerful backgrounds are perfect for sharing holiday cheer with friends and family. Don't miss the radiant 49 bauble pole lights illuminating King William, and Pulteney Street and Victoria square/Tarntanyangga.

Petunias galore

Some 5,000 red and white petunias are popping up all over the city for the festive season! You'll find them blooming in a flower bed at Victoria Square, in potted petunia trees on Flinders, Pirie, Hutt, Halifax, O'Connell and Melbourne Streets, and in planter boxes along King William Street this festive season.

Giant Santas, books, presents and window displays

Bigger is better when it comes to Christmas and this year giant Christmas decorations of all kinds are calling the city home.

In Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, it’s hard to miss the Giant Christmas Tree which soars into the sky at 25 metres tall and has over 13 thousand lights! Look out for the Giant Christmas Card Cubes while you’re there!

Walking along North Terrace, it’s hard to miss the Christmas pillars and giant inflatable Santas! The same can be said for Rundle Mall with large window displays dotted throughout the Mall displaying Christmas decorations and more. And over in Light Square you'll find two giant light up presents.

Over at Adelaide Zoo, Giant Santa is reclaiming his place in the city and adding some extra Christmas cheer!

Along the streets of the city and North Adelaide, banners and flags have been installed spreading hope, joy, peace and cheer all throughout the festive season. Buildings throughout the city are also getting into the festive spirit with big red bows lining building balconies.
