Get ready to experience the magic of the festive season at Stirling Christmas Lights, lighting up the City of Stirling Administration Centre forecourt every evening from Friday 27 November – Sunday 27 December 2026. This year’s display invites families, friends, and neighbours to gather under the stars and celebrate the joy of Christmas in a truly unforgettable way.
Each night from sunset, the City of Stirling Administration Centre Forecourt transforms into a glowing and golden wonderland of festive lights, as this year's central hub. The fun continues throughout the suburbs, so be sure to explore the magical installations all across the City.
Discover the Gingerbread House at the Inglewood Community Hub, visit the Santa Hat House at the Osborne Community Hub, and take a photo with the wave at Scarborough Beach. Admire the stars in the trees at Mirrabooka Town Square and enjoy the festive street motifs along Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley.
This year's display invites you to gather your loved ones, get out and about and experience the joy of Christmas throughout the City of Stirling.
