Nothing says Christmas in Ballarat more than a stroll down the centre of town, with the Sturt Street Gardens transformed into a festive spectacle of florals and lights.

The Ballarat CBD will be dressed in beautiful Christmas decorations featuring crowd favourites such as the Reindeer and Santa Sleigh, the Christmas Tree and signature floral installations.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.

These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.

As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
