Turn your festive season up a notch with The Alice Springs Town Council Christmas Carnival.

Enjoy the eclectic mix of buskers, magicians, balloon twisters and circus performers roving the mall. Keep an eye out for special guest appearances and other surprises that pop up along the way.

Catch the sounds of Alice's local musicians whilst you shop amongst the exciting and numerous market stalls offering a variety of arts and crafts, fresh produce, plants, clothes, books, jewellery and global foods that will give that enhanced shopping experience for the last minute Christmas shopper. There is something to suit every taste and every budget!
For the kids the Universal Solar Garden is always a hive of zany activity with activities to keep them entertained for hours. Look out for the Notnaughty Gnomes, Fantastico Faeries, Funtastic Face Painters, Pavement Art, Wackyhairdo and more. A great way for the kids to spend some time away from mum and dad!
