Santa’s coming to town, and he’s got a brand-new home!

The magic of Christmas is coming to Hyperdome Shopping Centre, and you’re invited to celebrate with us!

Join us on Saturday 7 November as we roll out the festive cheer and welcome the big man in red with a spectacular Santa’s Arrival Parade, filled with colourful characters, live music and plenty of Christmas magic.

From dancing elves and larger-than-life reindeer to some of your favourite Christmas friends, there’s something magical waiting around every corner.

Follow the festive fun!

Starting outside BIG W at 10 am, Santa and his merry crew will make their way through the Centre, spreading Christmas cheer along the way!

Led by a lively brass band, the parade will feature some very special festive friends, including:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Frosty the Snowman
The Gingerbread Man
Mrs Claus
Santa’s cheerful little helpers.

Keep your eyes peeled for dazzling Christmas baubles on skates, playful elves, towering reindeer stilt walkers and plenty of festive surprises!

The parade will travel through the Piazza and The Market Room before making its grand finale at Santa’s brand-new home Under the Dome in Centre Court.
