The much-loved Xmas in July festival is returning to Canberra, for four days and nights of French-European Christmas magic. This unmissable winter wonderland will take over Parkes Place Lawns in the middle of the National Triangle in Canberra from 27 to 30 June 2024.
In the tradition of Europe’s most beautiful Christmas Market, the festival offers an array of artisanal products, delicious comfort food, wooden huts, and magical Christmas props & fairy lights. With over 40 pop-up restaurants showcasing the finest French and European cuisine, Xmas in July festival is a gift to all foodies! From melted cheese stations serving raclette & fondue to delicious gnocchi in creamy mushroom sauce, oversized German hot dogs, lobster rolls, and much more!
On the drink side, expect the popular hot chocolate bars and chocolate cocktails with toasted marshmallows to return, along with the mulled wine bars. New this year, Sheep Dog is joining the party, creating a unique peanut butter hot whiskey drink, and the Crowne Plaza hotel is not only offering great room options for the weekenders willing to come down for the event but also the hotel culinary team is working on an amazing truffle sausage pop-up restaurant at the festival.
Xmas in July is not just about food; it’s also about creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones. This festival offers a wide range of free entertainment, including street shows, over 15 live concerts, and performances by some of Canberra’s most talented artists.
Take a stroll through the festival, venture through the snow lane, explore one-of-a-kind artisanal creations, soak in the festive atmosphere, and enjoy live music that will keep your spirits high throughout the festival.
If you feel like sipping on mulled wine (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) while roasting marshmallows with your loved ones around a fire pit, good news, the very popular Fire Pit Garden is back this year again! Booking is essential for this experience. Each fire pit can accommodate up to 8 people and can be booked for one hour with all you can eat marshmallows and one glass of mulled wine.
