Loxton lights up with a sparkling transformation
Officially blasting off the biggest party of the year with Light Up Day on November 30, Loxton’s main street will transform into a Christmas paradise. Santa will drop in for meet-and-greets and the whole street will come alive with Twilight Markets, amusement rides, a kids zone, and live entertainment from local and guest performers. Plus, Christmas shoppers will love the late-night shopping hours, making it easy to find the perfect gifts. And as the night unfolds, the sky will burst into colour with a spectacular fireworks show at 9pm, officially kicking off the month-long Christmas celebration.
Throughout December, Loxtonites will be busy keeping the Christmas cheer brewing. Right in the heart of town, you’ll be greeted by the Big Santa and a magnificent Christmas Tree on the roundabout. The famous Christmas Wonderland at the Loxton North Sports Club is a must see! Featuring a 250-metre twinkling trail of holiday magic, created each year by the tireless work of passionate locals.
You’ll be able to soak in over 350 hand-painted scenes placed throughout town, alongside a nostalgic display that captures Loxton Christmases of the past. Santa’s Walk and the Christmas Tree Festival add even more to the festive lineup, with themed trees on display and the transformation of Hilbig Street—where the festival first began.
For those wanting to catch Loxton’s lights from every angle, the Festival Ferris Wheel offers a sky-high view of the twinkling town below, while the Christmas Lights Tour takes you on a scenic drive past homes decked out in their finest Griswold-worthy displays.
With the celebration running until New Year’s Eve, Loxton has surely won its place as the most festive town in South Australia!
