Join the Magic of the Norwood Christmas Pageant!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and what better way to celebrate than by being a part of the Norwood Christmas Pageant!

Each year the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters invites local schools, community groups and businesses to help share Christmas cheer by participating in this much-loved annual event.

Whether you walk, dance, march or glide on a festive float, the pageant is your chance to get creative, have fun and share the joy of the season with thousands of spectators.

Dress in your most colourful Christmas costume (we’ve got costumes available for hire as well) and bring your imagination to life with decorated floats, sparkling smiles and festive flair.

This is more than a parade—it's a celebration of community.

We encourage local schools and community groups to join in, showcase their talents and embrace the spirit of giving and togetherness.

It's a fantastic opportunity for children, families, teachers and volunteers to come together and create unforgettable memories.

To ensure the Pageant is safe and enjoyable for everyone, all participants must follow our entry criteria and conditions, which include:

• All floats and costumes must embrace a Christmas or festive theme.
• No balloons, giveaways, or promotional materials to keep the focus on fun, not advertising.
• Safety first! Vehicles must meet safety standards and participants—especially children—must be supervised at all times.
• Only one Santa will appear in the pageant (and yes, he’s the real one!).

Please take a moment to read the full entry criteria and conditions before submitting your expression of interest. They’ve been designed with care to keep everyone safe while ensuring the Pageant remains a joyous, family-friendly celebration.

Submit your expression of interest before Friday 3 October and start planning your group’s festive debut.

Let’s light up Norwood with the spirit of Christmas.
