After breaking the Guinness World Record™ for the most number of lights on an artificial Christmas tree last year, Christmas in the City is back in 2016.

This year, In The City Canberra is introducing a brand new series of food, drinks, music, handcrafted and arts markets and entertainment. The markets will replace the tunnel of lights than ran along City Walk in 2015, and will raise vital funds for SIDS and Kids and their important contribution to our community.

The Christmas Food Markets in Civic Square will be a foodies’ dream, featuring a number of delicious culinary themed nights over the course of the week such as Burgers and Beers, Sweet Treats, Cocktails and Canapés and Street Food.

The food markets will also feature an awesome entertainment line-up of live music and competitions for the most daring. Visitors can come day and night, as Canberrans and their guests are encouraged to chill out in the week leading up to Christmas Day.

Next to the food markets, along Ainslie Place, will be the inaugural Christmas Handcrafted Gifts and Arts Markets, offering a variety of unique local stallholders under a canopy of fairy lights.
