Merry & Bright in Palmerston
They’re turning it up in Palmerston! Goyder Square comes to life with the magic of the season at City of Palmerston’s annual Christmas Wonderland. With a spectacular light installation, tree lighting festivities, and a ride on the Express Train, it’s perfect for a family outing in the lead up to the big day.

DREAMING OF A white Christmas? There’s glistening falling snow to catch, or stop by Santa’s house relocated all the way from the North Pole, complete with his trusty side-kicks, magical elves and reindeers.
The magic extends into the suburbs as the Community Christmas Lights Competition returns. Round up the little ones, fill a thermos with hot (or iced!) chocolate, and follow the Christmas Lights Trail map to admire the twinkling, festive displays. Along the way, vote for your favourite – there’s $3000 worth of prizes up for grabs across four categories, including newly introduced Best Sustainably Decorated House.
Festivities in Palmo kick off with a family day out at Gray Community Hall, where the little ones can snap a photo with the jolly man in red, get creative with arts and crafts activities, and enjoy a sausage sizzle. The best part? It’s all free.
Merry Christmas, indeed!
