🎄Loving the festive Barossa vibes!!

Christmas in Barossa is about small towns coming together, catching up while wandering between stalls and street food and watching the kids’ eyes light up when Santa arrives. It’s also a great reminder of why community matters.

Over the coming weeks, Barossa’s main streets and village greens will come alive with twilight markets, community BBQs, carols, fairy lights and that unmistakable country Christmas spirit.

If you’re looking for a way to celebrate the local Christmas street parties, mark these dates:

Angaston - Fri 28 Nov, from 5pm
Tanunda - Fri 5 Dec, from 5pm
Kapunda - Fri 5 Dec, from 5pm
Mount Pleasant - Sat 6 Dec, from 5:30pm
Williamstown - Sun 7 Dec, from 12noon
Greenock - Fri 12 Dec, from 5pm (Christmas in the Park)
Freeling - Fri 12 Dec, from 5pm
Lyndoch - Fri 12 Dec, from 5:30pm

See you there 🎄
