Families watch Santa's sleigh, a 90-piece marching band and elves on reindeer tricycles travel along Pitt Street, and can walk along. At Martin Place, Santa lights the 24m Christmas tree around 8:30pm, followed by fireworks. DJs and roving entertainment play earlier.

Good to know

  • No one can ride on the sleigh with Santa, but everyone is welcome to walk along.
  • Public transport is recommended; call 131 500 or visit Transport NSW to plan your trip.
  • The page text mentions both Thursday 27 November and a session date of 26 November, so check the date before going.
  • Fireworks follow the tree lighting.
  • DJs and roving entertainment from 6:30pm
  • Lights display every 15 minutes until midnight
