Celebrate the Magic of the Double Bay Christmas Festival

The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner, and the heart of Double Bay is about to come alive with festive cheer! The Double Bay Christmas Festival is back for 2025 — a free, family-friendly celebration that transforms the streets into a sparkling wonderland of lights, laughter, and holiday magic.

Taking place in Steyne Park on Sunday 23 November, this much-loved local tradition brings together everything we adore about the season — live entertainment, carols, Christmas markets, and, of course, a special visit from Santa himself. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festive season with family and friends.

Make a Day (and Night) of It at Kiaora Place

Why not turn the festival into a full day of celebration? Start your afternoon with a relaxed picnic lunch in the park — Bake Bar and Cali Press have everything you need to make it delicious. Pick up freshly baked pastries, gourmet sandwiches, or Bake Bar’s famous sourdough loaves, paired with Cali Press’ cold-pressed juices or smoothies for a healthy festive feast-on-the-go.

After enjoying the festival’s live entertainment, market stalls, and community spirit, head over to Kiaora Place to continue the fun into the evening. Sit down for family dinner at Ruma Dining, where Italian-inspired dishes and fine wines set the scene for a beautiful family meal, or enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavours of Sushi Maru, perfect for sharing. And no family outing is complete without dessert — end the night with a sweet treat from Yo-Chi, where everyone can create their own fro-yo masterpiece.

A True Community Celebration

The Double Bay Christmas Festival is more than just an event — it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the joy of the season. So gather the family, embrace the festive spirit, and make Kiaora Place part of your Christmas celebration this year.
