Mermaid Waters Christmas Park Party

Get ready for Mermaid’s brightest night of the year at the Mermaid Waters Christmas Park Party. This free, family-friendly celebration lights up McIlwain Family Park with festive fun, live music and a relaxed community vibe by the water.

This Saturday, from 5:00 pm, enjoy food trucks, face painting and entertainment for all ages as the park comes alive with Christmas cheer. As night falls, grab a spot along the water’s edge for the highlight of the evening — the dazzling Flotilla of Lights, where decorated boats glide through the waterways, glowing with colour and festive spirit.

Presented by Cr Nick Marshall OAM, this much-loved local event is the perfect way to celebrate Christmas with neighbours, friends and family. Bring a picnic rug, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a magical summer evening under the stars.

Entry is free, so arrive early, settle in and enjoy one of Mermaid Waters’ most sparkling festive traditions.
