Update: The Surry Hills Christmas concert on Sunday 1 December at 6pm has been relocated to Pirrama Park in Pyrmont. The line-up and events will remain the same, only the location has changed. This is in addition to the concert taking place in Pirrama Park Pyrmont at 6pm on Saturday 30 November, which will go ahead as normal at this stage. This decision was made due to wet weather. We apologise for any inconvenience.
It’s time to dust off your reindeer ears, put on your party shoes and kick off Christmas at our free, family-friendly Christmas concert.
Jayden Rodrigues will host the evening. Join Diver City, Whistle & Trick, Soulfood Chorus and La Fiesta Sound System to sing and dance in the spirit of Sydney Christmas.
All performers will sing carols. Santa will also make a special guest appearance.
There’ll be free craft activities, table tennis and giant Jenga, and other games for the kids (and kids at heart).
Our charity partner The Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation will receive a $5 donation for a photo with Santa. They’ll also sell tickets for their Play for Purpose raffle and run Spin to Win giveaways.
Pack your picnic rug and get in early for the best spots. There'll be Gelato Messina, Sharon Kwan Kitchen, Souvlaki Wraps, Volkswurst, Crazy Potato and Bar Coco Churros food trucks. You can also bring your own picnic.
Pets are permitted, but be aware – the event can become crowded.
The closest train station is Central, a 2-minute walk away. Visit Transport NSW or call 131 500 to plan your trip.
