Celebrate the festive season, Freo style, with a host of carol singers, kite-makers, sand-sculptors, mischievous elves, and more this December.
Explore our program of community Christmas events below and in the spirit of the season (and Freo), all are welcome and it’s all FREE.
Christmas Beach Fun | Saturday 13 - Sunday 14 December
Join Santa at Bathers beach for a host of fun activities including kite flying displays and kite building workshops, interactive sand sculptures, a mermaids meet and greet, mini train rides, face painting, and an opportunity to meet Santa!
Classic Christmas Movie: The Polar Express | Saturday 20 December
Pack a picnic and settle on the sloped lawn at Walyalup Koort to watch this year’s Christmas movie selection, The Polar Express. Film starts at 7pm but get there nice and early to pick up some popcorn from our roving cart, get your face painted, and even meet Santa. Tickets are free, register attendance here.
Carols from the Koort | Friday 19 December
The much-loved Carols from the Koort returns as some of our favourite local performers bring you a night of carols and Christmas cheer under the stars in Walyalup Koort. Family festivities begin at 4pm with rumours of a special appearance from the North Pole later that evening.
Need to pick up a gift or two?
While you’re here, tick off some of the items on your Christmas list with the help of Freo’s best independent shops. From books and vinyl to kids’ clothing, vintage homewares, and surf gear, you’ll find it in Freo.
Plus, you’ll be supporting local artists, makers, and curators and keeping your festive spending in WA. Now that’s what we call a good deed (you’re welcome).

Dine, drink and toast to the end of another year at one of Freo’s award winning breweries, bars or restaurants. Whether an historic pub, quaint small bar or rooftop with a view is your vibe, we’ve got you sorted.
