Riverbank Christmas Display
Published on 21 November 2025
We're delighted to announce the return of a true South Australian Christmas classic!
The Riverbank Christmas Display is a festive feast for the senses that continues to unite generations in the spirit of Christmas.
The Riverbank Christmas Display in Southwark (formerly Thebarton) has been capturing hearts since 1959. Don’t miss your chance to experience this beloved holiday tradition with enchanting displays - including Santa and his reindeers, Jack in the box, Vulcan's volcano, the Ferris wheel, the Nativity inn and, of course, Moby the whale.
Mark your calendars, we'll be lighting up the display on Saturday 22 November 2025 from 5pm.
