Mandurah Christmas Pageant

Get ready for a magical evening at the City of Mandurah Christmas Pageant, supported by Lotterywest.

The Mandurah Christmas Pageant returns to light up the city with magic, colour, and cheer! Watch as the streets come alive with more than 30 dazzling floats, marching bands, dancers, and community groups spreading joy and excitement. Feel the festive buzz as Santa makes his grand arrival, officially launching Mandurah’s biggest celebration of the year.
Children can take part in free workshops filled with fun and creative activities, making sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. As a special highlight, the evening will also mark the official first night of the Mandurah Christmas Lights Trail, adding an extra sparkle to the event.

Why not make a night of it? Grab some food from the nearby local restaurants, pick up your favourite takeaway, or bring along a picnic to enjoy with family and friends as you take in the festivities and admire the beautiful lights. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the community spirit while celebrating the start of the Christmas season.
