EVENTS, PROMOTION
It’s that time of the year again! Adelaide Arcade is all decked up and ready to welcome you to the festive season. Whether you’re looking for fun activities, great gift ideas or want to soak up the holiday vibe, Adelaide Arcade has got you covered. With so much to see and do, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this Christmas season.
Christmas Decorations
Everyone looks forward to when the Adelaide Arcade Christmas decorations go up. The giant twinkling Christmas trees and hanging garlands adorned in traditional red, green and gold baubles, along with everyone’s favourite Santa figure who has been part of Adelaide Arcade’s Christmas display for over twenty-five years, set the scene for a magical Christmas. Make sure you look up and take in the red and white hot air balloons floating through the Arcade delivering gifts. Have you spotted our toy soldiers on the balconies at each entrance to the Arcade? Or the giant red present box outside the Grenfell Street end balcony? It lights up at night time too!
Christmas Windows
Enjoy a magical stroll around the Arcade and check out our retailers’ festive window displays. We may be biased, but our retailers have created some fantastic creative displays.
Christmas Trail
Collect a FREE Christmas Trail brochure on arrival from the Christmas brochure stands located at each entrance of the Arcade and follow the clues! Can you guess all of them?
