National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant

The 2025 date has been announced – Saturday 8th November

The 2024 route will begin at South Terrace and travel north along King William Street, west of Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, through Reconciliation Plaza along Wakefield Street, left into Pulteney Street, left along North Terrace and then south along King William Street finishing at Beehive corner, on the corner of Rundle Mall.

From Beehive Corner, Father Christmas will be led by a band and dance group through Rundle Mall to a landing stage at the Gawler Place canopy. Here he will deliver his special Christmas message to the people of South Australia. From there, he will head into National Pharmacies in Gawler Place.

An audience of 320,000 people enjoyed the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant – the southern hemisphere’s largest public street parade – in 2023 and the weather is looking ideal for 2024 to go even bigger.
