Christmas Square
The heart of Melbourne’s festive celebrations, featuring the City’s Christmas Tree and twinkling decorations.
Fed Square will be transformed into Christmas Square for the festive season. The striking centrepiece is the enormous 17.5 metre LED Christmas tree, which will light up each evening, a beacon of Christmas joy. The stunning light up Bell Swings will also return in 2024, you won’t want to miss being able to invite a special person to swing with as you gaze upward to the stunning Christmas tree, and whisper your Christmas wishes to each other.
Plan your visit to coincide with nightly sound and light show every half hour to enjoy the magical celebration of Christmas song and spirit.
Christmas Square is lighting up with 100% wind powered Christmas cheer.
