Santa Fest 2015
A mainly free program of family friendly events is overrunning Darling Harbour for the silly season. Darling Harbour Santa Fest debuts a towering Crate Santa sculpture never before seen in Sydney as well as a whimsical Santa’s Maze inspired by traditional hedge mazes, and Santa Express train rides for kids.
On Friday and Saturday nights all can delight in the free Santa Fest Open Air Cinema showing much loved Santa films, (including a special Starlight Children’s Foundation Australia Charity Night for Christmas Eve) as well as the Santa Fest 2015 Christmas Music Series which showcases some of Sydney’s finest a capella, soul and gospel choirs. On Christmas Eve, the multi-ARIA nominated Frank Bennett will give a special Christmas concert at Darling Harbour’s Palm Grove.
The Harbour is being taken over by a Christmas-themed Ferris Wheel, roving entertainers, scattered with Santa Post-boxes for the Santa Fest Kids’ Competition, and showered with a spectacular FREE Festive Fireworks display every Saturday night and on Christmas Eve. (AM)
Until Dec 24. Darling Harbour. Numerous event times, mostly free but some events ticketed. Info: darlingharbour.com
