LIGHT UP GEELONG Geelong’s Floating Christmas Tree will return on Friday 11 November when the City of Greater Geelong hosts Light Up Geelong, our biggest night of Christmas celebrations. Light Up Geelong will feature an impressive line-up of entertainment from 7.30pm, followed by the lighting of Geelong’s Floating Christmas Tree, a short fireworks show, and projections on City Hall. Talented Geelong artists Sophia Katos and Imogen Brough will headline Light Up Geelong, performing popular Christmas carols from 8.30pm before the Christmas tree lights up at 9.00pm. Artists performing at Light Up Geelong include the Rachel Brennan Duo, Uptown Brown and Steve Thew.
Kids will love the face painting, balloon artist, stilt walkers and of course Santa.
Geelong’s Floating Christmas Tree will light up daily from 8.30pm to midnight.
Get into Central Geelong early to enjoy shopping and dinner before the festive entertainment begins.
The light shows will run for approximately six minutes with a nine minute break.
Watching Geelong’s Floating Christmas Tree light up in November has become a tradition for many local families. Now in it’s third year there will be new music and lighting shows to look forward as the crowd counts down for the Christmas tree reveal.
Geelong’s Floating Christmas Tree will be in place for Orthodox Christmas, with disassembly on 7 January. Light Up Geelong is proudly delivered by the City of Greater Geelong with support from GeelongPort.
Bethany will also be collecting gifts for their Bay 93.9 Giving Tree Appeal at Light Up Geelong. Geelong’s Floating Christmas tree this year includes an interactive element for the first time, giving people control of the floating Christmas tree’s lights, between 3 and 25 December.
