The National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant is back for 2025! Heralding the arrival of Father Christmas with a vibrant parade of festive floats, the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant is a highlight of the year for many South Australians - marking the traditional start of Christmas in Adelaide. Join us on Saturday 8 November, with the Christmas Pageant commencing at 9am on South Terrace, before completing the journey at Beehive Corner.

Once you've waved goodbye to Father Christmas, continue the festive fun and head to the Gawler Place Canopy to write yourself a letter to Santa, or for those officially starting the countdown to Christmas Day, get your present shopping done early and discover over 700+ stores for you to tick off your list, twice.

Don't miss the excitement and holiday cheer as it takes over Rundle Mall on Saturday 8 November.

Write a letter to Santa!

Whilst Father Christmas might be busy with his Pageant route, that doesn't mean that his elves are working non-stop at the North Pole to make sure every child's dreams come true this Christmas!

From 11am - 2pm, at the Gawler Place Canopy, compile your wish list and write your very own letter to Santa to post at the mailbox! You'll be able to let him know if you've been naughty or nice this year, and of course, what presents you'd love to see under the tree. Join in on the festive fun for Christmas on Pageant Day, only in Rundle Mall.

Up bright and early to secure your spot? The Myer Centre will be open from 7am on the day, giving you the perfect opportunity to enjoy a (much-needed) coffee or breakfast. Get ready for the festive fun with fresh pastries, juices, morning brews, and so much more on offer.
