New activities for adults this Christmas

The City's Christmas in Geelong program has expanded to include more events and activities for adults to get in the festive spirit and feel connected.

Community members are encouraged to take advantage of the new opportunities on offer, such as special afternoon rounds of golf with family and friends at our Christmas at Balyang Par 3 sessions.

Enjoy carols while you swim and a complementary gift at the City's Christmas by the Pool sessions at Kardinia Aquatic Centre and Lara Aquatic Centre.

Furry friends can get in on the festive action too and have a memorable snap with Mr Claus at our Santa Pet Photos.

A number of events are being supported by local businesses, such as the Piano Bar's Carols by Candelabra and Christmas Queens night with fabulous queens Lynnduh and Max Drag Queen.

Start your Christmas Day right by participating in Christmas Day Morning Yoga at Wonder Yoga or take a surf lesson with Santa's Elves at Ocean Grove Beach with Go Ride a Wave.

There are Christmas masterclasses on food and wine and wreath making, and Christmas themed painting classes.

Explore the City's Christmas in Geelong program and get planning for some fun experiences.

We encourage community members to make a day of it and support local businesses when participating in Christmas in Geelong activities.

By adding the hashtag #GeelongChristmas to your favourite festive photos on social media, community members go into the running to win a $50 Westfield Gift Card.

There's also the opportunity to win one of four Christmas Hampers valued at $250, simply by signing up to our Christmas in Geelong database.

After participating in our Christmas in Geelong activities and experiences, community members can have their say and share their thoughts on the program. You could win one of three $100 gift cards.

Mayor Trent Sullivan

Council's Christmas in Geelong program is the largest to date, appealing to more people of all ages.

Christmas is such a busy time as we organise gifts, wrap up work and prepare for the big day, but adults can have just as much fun as the kids this silly season.

Whether it's playing a sport, trying your hand at a masterclass or enjoying a Christmas-themed drink and a show with mates, there's something to suit many interests and preferences.

Deputy Mayor Anthony Aitken

There are still the traditional favourites in the Christmas in Geelong program to enjoy.

The Sound and Light Shows at our iconic Floating Christmas Tree continues to wow audiences each night at Steampacket Quay and are the perfect addition to a night out in central Geelong.

While you're there, it's worth heading to the nearby stunning Christmas Projections at City Hall or visiting our Giant Selfie Trail installations for the perfect social media pic.
