Sunday 15 December, 10am-2pm

Come experience the magic of the season in Werribee City Centre! On Sunday 15 December, from 10am to 2pm, enjoy a day packed with festive cheer as you shop, dine, and play locally. Meet Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, and friends, sing along with carollers, and be entertained by talented local musicians.

Don’t miss the Christmas Makers Market held along Watton St, featuring local artisans selling handmade gifts, homewares and more.

  • Special Appearances – Snap a pic with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Station Place or find the Grinch and Helper bringing cheer (and maybe a little mischief!) in Wedge Street Piazza.
  • Selfie Spots – Make memories at our 8m walk-through Christmas tree and other festive decorations around Werribee City Centre.
  • Kid-Friendly Fun – Bring the little ones to get their faces painted at three locations (Wedge Street Piazza, Station Place, and Watton Street).
  • Slime and Bubbles – Let the kids dive into some slime-making fun in Wedge Street Piazza and enjoy bubble-tastic fun at Station Place!
  • Live Entertainment – Feel the holiday spirit with carollers at Station Place, a jazz marching band, buskers, and roving performers spreading cheer throughout the streets.
