The 88th Adelaide Christmas pageant will be held on Saturday afternoon, November 14th.


The Christmas Pageant is a South Australian tradition that takes place every second Saturday of November.

Families line the city streets to celebrate the happy season and of course, Father Christmas of Adelaide.

The pageant began in 1933 and grew every year, now consisting of more than 60 floats and 1,700 volunteers.

The pageant is full of colour, activity and music, with floats celebrating Australia and Christmas.

Spectators are encouraged to use the public transportation since there are free transportation courtesy of the Adelaide oval express.

This year, instead of being held on the CBD streets, the parade and event will be held at the Adelaide Oval where the number of attendees are limited to 25,000.

The pageant will also broadcast live on television.
