The annual Adelaide Christmas Pageant will be filling the CBD with holiday cheer starting at 9:30am on the Saturday morning of Congress. With an expected crowd of around 350,000, it’s sure to be a magical day – but it might also affect your travel plans. If you’re driving into the city, the best route is via West Terrace to the convention centre, as many roads on the east side may be closed for the celebration. To avoid any delays and for detailed info on the route and closures, check out: https://christmaspageant.com.au

If you have any changes to your registration, please advise the staff at the Registration Desk.
