Sydney Christmas opening weekend

Enjoy special offers, pop-up stalls, markets, roving performers, carollers and decorations.

Pitt Street Mall

Wander through the mall under a shimmering canopy of lights and stars. If you’re looking for gift ideas check out:

• Play Line Friends featuring NewJeans pop-up: Come take photos with your favourite NewJeans bunini and receive a gift for Christmas. 

• Goelia Fashion: step into a lavish 3D multi-layered Christmas inspired photobooth. Have your photo taken by a professional photographer, with the option of free photo printing.

• Good 4 Good: sample Christmas treats, or buy Christmas cards, wrapping paper and hampers.

• FloraFest: celebrate an Australian Christmas with floral natives, plants and artisan gifts.

• Gelato Messina: enjoy some delicious gelato.

WSFM will provide some much-needed respite in between Christmas shopping sprees, with a ‘Pit stop on Pitt Street’. Giving you time to relax and reload on the busiest shopping day of the year, and even decorate your own bespoke bauble for your tree.

Martin Place

Take a sneak peek at the Christmas tree before the elves complete their work on Thursday 30 November and be dazzled by the light show.

More than 40 stalls of locally made gifts, food and produce offer a magical shopping experience at the Martin Place Christmas Markets.
