Brisbane comes alive every December with plenty of free and low-cost Christmas festivities ideal for the whole family.
In 2025 you joined us for the Lighting of the Christmas Tree, sang along to your favourite Christmas tunes at the Lord Mayor's Christmas Carols or dropped by the Queen Street Mall for pop-up entertainment and roving performances.

Brisbane City's iconic 22m Christmas tree stands as one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, continuing a cherished tradition dating back to the 1950s. Bring your family, snap a photo and admire this magnificent tree, on display in King George Square until early January.
