The Christmas Pageant, marking the start of the festive season, will take place tomorrow morning. Road users are advised to plan their travel carefully due to several closures across the CBD.
Event Details and Road Closures
Several major roads will be closed from early morning until the afternoon to accommodate more than 300,000 attendees expected to line the streets for the annual event. A complete list of closures is available on the Christmas Pageant website.
Traditional Pageant Route
This year, the Pageant will follow its usual path, beginning at South Terrace, then proceeding onto King William Street. It will pass along the western edge of Tarntanyangga, continue through Reconciliation Plaza, Wakefield Street, Pulteney Street, North Terrace, and conclude at Beehive Corner.
Safety Advice from RAA
“The Christmas Pageant brings huge numbers to the city each year so road closures will be in place tomorrow morning to keep everyone safe,” said Charles Mountain, RAA Senior Manager Safety and Infrastructure.
“On-street parking will be as rare as a white Christmas, so check for off-street options and allow plenty of extra time if you’re driving to the Pageant.”
Recommendations for Attendees
- Plan your trip early to avoid delays caused by road closures.
- Consider alternative parking arrangements since on-street parking will be very limited.
- Allow extra travel time if driving into the city.
