Free Chocolate Strawberries at Harbour Town

National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant
Adelaide, it’s that time — the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant is back and the city is about to get seriously festive. Glittering floats, live bands, clowns, cheeky elves, dancers and, of course, Father Christmas himself are taking over the streets, wrapping up with his big festive message at Beehive Corner in Rundle Mall.
Want the best view? Top spots to watch are Beehive Corner (fo the Santa magic), North Terrace (front-row without the sunrise wake-up), South Terrace/King William Street (where the action kicks off) and Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga (all the floats in one go). Pack sunscreen, water, your biggest waves and maybe a bit of chalk for the kids to get in on the fun. It’s free, it’s colourful, and it’s Adelaide’s ultimate festive kickoff.
