Put Saturday, 9 December in your diary as Paddys Park plays host to the third annual Ginninderry Christmas in the Park.

The annual celebration has become a much-anticipated event, as the Canberra community gathers to enjoy a balmy night under the stars.

Paddys Park will once more come alive with the sounds of live music and carols, family activities, a delicious host of food and drink vendors and much more!

Settle in from 5–9 pm and enjoy tunes from homegrown talent MAXO and the Canberra Symphony Orchestra alongside Kingsford Smith School while tucking into tasty fare from local foodies like Tikka Stand, Kusukusu, Doing Donuts, Yummy Thai and Bake My Day Canberra. The Underground Spirits Bar will be ensuring everyone is kept hydrated!

Get a snap with the big guy in red at the Santa photo booth, and keep the kids busy with a host of games and craft activities.

Name a better way to spend a Saturday evening (for free)?!
