Martin Place Christmas tree and fairy lights

The tallest Christmas tree in NSW is decorated with more than 110,000 LED lights, a 3.4-metre colour-changing star and 330 specially created glossy baubles.

The tree’s 800 branches are dressed with 15,000 flowers representing 9 different kinds of Australian flowers: banksia, waratah, bottlebrush, wattle, eucalyptus gum flower, kangaroo paw, flannel flower, pink wax flower and white wax flower.

Listen to an audio description of the Christmas tree.

A different choir sings carols by the tree every night.

Wander through Martin Place and soak in the magic of Sydney Christmas.

Enjoy a kaleidoscope of colours and decorative lights and stars every 15 minutes from 8pm to midnight.

Drop by Pitt Street Mall Canopy of Light while you're in the city.

Take a stroll along George Street and look up to the stars on top of each smart pole. The Woolworths building across from Sydney Town Hall is also draped in a curtain of light.
