Join us for our Christmas Family Day on December 7

All through December, festive decorations transform the streets with wreaths, baubles, and tinsel creating a magical atmosphere across the precinct.

But there’s one day of the season that Camberwell Junction hits peak Christmas, and you don’t want to miss it!

On Saturday, December 7, from 11am to 3pm, Camberwell Junction’s Christmas Family Day brings the precinct to life with a day packed full of free Christmas fun for all ages.

Families can enjoy roving entertainers, creative balloon modellers with holiday-themed designs (hint: request a reindeer and watch the balloon modeller really show their talent!), and craft activities that will delight the little ones.

Jump aboard the antique red fire truck for a ride around the precinct – the kids, and the kids at heart, will love it.

Meanwhile, grown-ups can immerse themselves in the Christmas spirit with live cooking demonstrations at Camberwell Fresh Food Market and tick off items on their holiday shopping list, all while soaking up the Christmas experience.

We’ve just had confirmation from the North Pole that Santa himself will be making a special appearance. Santa is keen to meet all the good boys and girls of Camberwell Junction, and there’s nothing he loves more than a selfie, so get ready for some festive snaps!

Make sure you schedule in a stop at the festive photo wall near Camberwell Fresh Food Market to capture this year’s family Christmas photo. Up your photo game this year with festive fashion, maybe with coordinating Christmas outfits, or props like reindeer antlers or tinsel scarves. Photos with your pets are also encouraged.
