The St Mary’s Cathedral Christmas lights display is back in Sydney, bringing with it all the festival magic we know and love. As with previous editions, the family-friendly event features beautiful light displays, and stunning projections that bring the timeless story of Christmas to life alongside food trucks, markets, and carol-singing to immerse you in the holiday spirit. A grand celebration of peace, love, and goodwill, the annual Sydney staple will delight Sydneysiders for two weeks this December with a retelling of “A Christmas Carol.”
Christmas at St Mary’s Cathedral, 2024
Running from December 12 to December 25, the light display and projections are a cherished annual tradition in Sydney and well worth braving the crowds to experience. In addition to the lovely Christmas lights and visual effects, visitors can also look forward to daily choir performances and twinkling Christmas trees at the venue. Festivities kick off each evening at 5.30pm, running until 10.30pm with light shows taking over the cathedral and live performances by talented local musicians.
Pack a picnic or indulge in festive treats from one of the food and drink stalls on-site while you watch the Cathedral’s famous glass-stained windows transform into a kaleidoscope of colours. Enjoy a variety of treats including Italian dishes from Bianco, gelato from Gelatissimo, pizza from Rosso Pepe, paella, churros, and more. Hot tea, coffee, and a selection of beverages will also be available.
