The festive season kicked off in style on Friday, 6 December, as the annual SJ Christmas Street Festival brought Paterson Street in Mundijong alive with holiday magic! The much-anticipated community event, now in its fourth year, welcomed an impressive crowd of around 5,500 attendees who enjoyed a night filled with festive fun, food, and entertainment for all ages.
From 4pm to 9pm, the street was alive with excitement, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Highlights included live performances, vibrant market stalls, and a variety of delicious food trucks. Kids and families loved the fun activities such as face painting, mini golf, the smoothie bike, spin-the-prize-wheel, and the popular reptile stall. The mocktail bar and slushie truck were also a hit, providing refreshing drinks to beat the heat.
The event wasn’t just for people—Bear, the “goodest girl ever,” stole hearts as a friendly four-legged attendee who enjoyed plenty of pats.
The Mundi Estate Community Stage showcased a wonderful lineup of entertainment throughout the event. The evening began with a charming Christmas song performance by Jarrahdale Primary School, followed by a magic show with none other than Blitz the Magician. A lively Christmas dance party had plenty of people moving, while the CSO Youth Quintet and the Heritage Country Choir added a touch of musical elegance and festive tradition. The Skelton Duo brought their talent to the stage, and the night concluded beautifully with Christmas background music.
The festival also marked the opening of voting for our annual Christmas Lights Competition! Voting is open until 2pm Monday, 16 December. To cast your vote, visit: SJ Christmas Lights Competition 2024 | Your Say SJ
The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale is proud to continue this cherished tradition, made possible with the generous support of Mundi Estate who was the primary sponsor of the event, as well as Byford & Districts Community Bank, Doral, and Wormall Group.
Events like this are what bring the community together and the Shire looks forward to welcoming even more people at next year's Christmas Street Festival.
