Jubilation is just around the corner

Get ready for three days of Christmas celebrations when the first annual Jubilation festival comes to Docklands this month.

Kicking off on Friday, December 12, the festival will bring music, entertainment, food, markets and fun to Docklands all while raising money for the Country Fire Authority (CFA).

The Destination Docklands event will extend from NewQuay Promenade, along Harbour Esplanade and down Victoria Promenade, with a range of activities to keep everyone entertained.

The Jubilation stage at the NAB forecourt will host a range of performers ranging from the Captain Koala & Friends show, to the Red Austins, and The Bamboos.

Meanwhile the CFA zone on Harbour Esplanade will feature CFA demonstrations, CFA trivia and roving entertainers.

Of course Santa will also be stopping by and will be on hand for Christmas photos.

There will also be night markets and a food truck park with 18 different trucks over the three days.

The waterfront will also be lit up, with a Christmas decoration competition being held.

By entering your Christmas-themed boat, corporate window, show window or residential balcony into the competition you’ll go into the running to win an Atlantic Group catering voucher of up to $2000 (depending on the category).

Visitors to the festival can also make their own lanterns to float on the harbour.
