About the Christmas Festival & Pageant
The City of Albany’s Christmas Festival & Pageant is one of the most significant events in the Great Southern region, attracting up to 10,000 community members to the Albany CBD on the first Saturday of December each year. The event brings together all members of the community in a collective celebration of the start of the holiday season. Albany’s CBD will come alive with a fun-filled afternoon of entertainment, featuring live music and family-orientated activities in the Town Square and Alison Hartman Gardens, centering around the traditional Christmas pageant on the main street of Albany.
This vibrant celebration also aims to showcase the diversity of cultures in the Great Southern region. Every year, the event brings together community members from various cultural backgrounds to share in the joy of the holiday season. In addition to the traditional Christmas pageant, the festival will feature performances, markets, activities, and displays that represent the rich tapestry of cultures found in Albany.
The 2025 Christmas Pageant is open to all community groups, businesses, schools, not-for-profits, and individuals. It provides a wonderful opportunity to promote your group or organisation to the community and participate in a community-wide celebration. We welcome all to participate and share their cultural and religious heritage as part of this inclusive and joyous event.
The 2025 Christmas Pageant will be held on Saturday, 6 December from 6pm. The Pageant will travel from Peels Place up York Street to the Albany Highway roundabout (approximately 600m) and return down the street to conclude at the Peels Place roundabout around 7pm - 7:30pm (This depends on how many floats we have)
