This year, we are very excited to add a maker market element to the Glenelg Christmas Pageant event.

In Moseley Square you will find a series of young markers, designers and creatives aged 10 - 25 who will be selling their wares. With a wide range of crafted items, be sure to come along and show them your support.

The Young Maker's Market will be open for sale from 9:30am - 3pm.

To make the Glenelg Christmas Pageant welcoming for everyone in our community, a dedicated accessible viewing area will be located at the junction of Jetty Road and Moseley Street for people in wheelchairs or mobility scooters.

• An accessible toilet will be available at this location, along with additional access parking and a drop-off zone.
• Accessible toilets will also be available on Partridge Street, Bouchee Walk and near the Rotunda on Colley Terrace.
• For the first time in pageant history, a dedicated sensory space will be found inside the Glenelg Community Centre for visitors who may need to take some time away from the noise and excitement of the pageant. The Sensory Room will be open from 9am – 12pm.

With so many cafes and restaurants down Jetty Road, you will be spoilt for choice but if you need something quick whilst you wait for Santa, the lovely volunteers from the Rotary Club of Glenelg will have their BBQ fired up from 11am to 3pm for a quick sausage sizzle.

This year's Glenelg Christmas Pageant will start from and finish at a new location.

The pageant kicks off at 10.30am from the intersection of Gordon / Partridge Streets due to construction at the Brighton Road end of Jetty Road, which is part of the multi-million dollar transformation of Jetty Road, Glenelg.

The parade will travel west along Jetty Road to Colley Terrace and all the way to the Anzac Highway roundabout, giving more people the chance to cheer on all our amazing floats, dancers, musicians, and the big man in red, Santa.

Road closures will be in place from very early on the morning of the pageant, and the tram will terminate at stop 15, just east of Brighton Road, for the duration of the pageant.

If you miss seeing the Glenelg Christmas Pageant in real life, you can watch it on screen.
