Attendees will have the opportunity to write on a large postcard to Santa Claus and share their wishes for Christmas with the local community. This will be facilitated by The Fourth Chamber, a creative collective of multi-disciplinary artists.
Throughout the evening, families can enjoy roving performers, Christmas-themed market stalls, interactive activities and a wide range of food. Santa Claus and his merry elf will make a special appearance, before the celebration concludes with a dazzling fireworks display.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said that Magic of Christmas is one of the most anticipated events on our community calendar.
"Whether you're singing along to Christmas carols, meeting Santa, enjoying the incredible lineup of performers or watching the fireworks light up the night sky, it's the perfect way to kick off the festive season."
"We invite everyone to come along and celebrate the joy of Christmas with us."
Adding to the festive excitement, Georges River Council is proud to welcome Sylvania BMW as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Magic of Christmas event.
As part of its event activation, Sylvania BMW will also showcase its 2026 fundraising raffle in support of the St George Hospital Anaesthetics Department, with a BMW 118 offered as the major prize. The raffle has attracted strong community support throughout the year and will culminate at the Magic of Christmas event. Attendees will have a final opportunity to purchase tickets before the winner is drawn.
Dealer Principal at Sylvania BMW Marc Rodriquez said, "Sylvania BMW is honoured to support the Magic of Christmas event and celebrate the festive season with our community."
"Through our sponsorship of this wonderful event, together with the donation of a BMW 118 as the major raffle prize, we are proud to give back to our community in a meaningful and tangible way."
"We look forward to seeing the campaign culminate with the much-anticipated prize draw at the Magic of Christmas event."
