As we edge closer to the big guy in red arriving on Christmas Eve, here is our guide to the festive season on the Northern Beaches. We have covered most events, but if there are any we have missed, don’t hesitate to let us know, just click here to send a quick note to the team.

Christmas Lights

Looking to catch some Christmas lights on the beaches? Here are some displays that we know of this year, but there may be some well kept secrets we haven’t heard about – let us know!

Belrose

36 Childs Circuit: It has been noted that number 36 are going all out this year with Christmas lights synced to music, signing light bulbs, a mega tree with over 4,000 lights on it and more! The lovely residents will also be collecting donations for charity.

Davidson

Borgnis Street lights are one of the biggest on the beaches, however this year only about one third of the homes will take part in the display. The annual Christmas light display is also used as a fundraiser for two charities – Davidson Rural Fire Brigade (which is located on Borgnis Street) and Bear Cottage.

Ingleside

4 Ingleside Road: Ella’s list describes this as one of the biggest Christmas lights displays on the Northern Beaches (including a walk-through light tunnel!).

Elanora Heights

Kalang Road & Anana Road: The good folk in Elanora Heights love a celebration and there are houses dotted throughout Elanora Heights along Kalang, Anana and St Andrews Gate with sparkly lights.

NYE will go off with a bang! Northern Beaches Council will proceed with fireworks for New Year’s Eve this year in line with the easing of restrictions outlined in the State Government’s NSW Roadmap.

Families are encouraged to bring their own picnic or purchase takeaway from one of the many local restaurants and enjoy the fireworks spectacular!

For the safety of the public there will be road closures in place around Dee Why and Manly. Please be mindful of the road closures when planning your journey.

For pet owners, we recommend keeping your pets inside during the fireworks display to avoid any undue stress (for the pets, but also for you if they escape).

Wishing all our clients a happy, enjoyable and safe festive season.
