Santa is coming to town! Let's celebrate together at the Love Christmas, Love Margaret River Street Party.
Organised by Radio Margaret River (RMR) and proudly sponsored by the Shire of Augusta Margaret River, Margaret River’s Main Street will come alive for a vibrant community celebration in the spirit of Christmas.
Promising fun for all ages, Love Christmas, Love Margaret River will feature a helicopter arrival from Santa, before he joins a street parade complete with fire trucks and community groups bringing the street to life with floats, performances and more.
Many Main Street businesses will be open for late night trading until 7pm, plus cafes, restaurants and bars will join in the festivities by expanding out onto the street. RMR will be broadcasting live from the event, and live music will be on offer in multiple areas with a DJ set in the festival precinct from 9pm to round out the night.
