About the Event
Discover the magic of Christmas here in Australia’s Top Tourism Town with the City of Mandurah Christmas Lights Trail presented by Ray White Mandurah.
Each night in December through until January 7, be awestruck as you explore the free-to-view trail along Eastern Foreshore, Mandjar Square and the Mandurah Ocean Marina, all adorned with brilliant new additions around every corner.
The Mandurah Christmas Lights Trail officially switches on as part of the City of Mandurah Christmas Pageant presented by Ray White Mandurah festivities on December 1.
Santa himself will be lighting up the foreshore, standing at a towering over four metres - you can't miss him! Joining him on this journey is his reindeer and sleigh, a whimsical Volkswagen bus, a stunning 10.5m-tall Christmas tree, and a beautifully lit pirate ship.
This year we're going all out, with 30 light installations including Christmas trees over the water to get everyone in the festive spirit.
New to this year's experience, look out for a selection of augmented reality (AR) experiences throughout the trail.
