Renmark Christmas Pageant

Would you like to volunteer in this year's Renmark Christmas Pageant?

What an amazing honour 🎖😊❤️.
We are so glad the community appreciated the event.

👏 Congratulations to our winner for Community Event of the Year the Renmark Christmas Pageant 👏

After a five-plus year hiatus, the Renmark Christmas Pageant made an exciting comeback in 2023!

A dedicated group of community members volunteered their time to re-establish the Renmark Christmas Celebrations Committee Inc and deliver a Christmas Pageant in Renmark. The Renmark Christmas Pageant took place on Friday 1 December 2023 in the Renmark Town Centre and had an impressive turnout with thousands of people in attendance from across the Riverland.

Along with the much-anticipated parade, the event also featured attractions and games, an animal farm, Santa’s Cave, face painting, roaming clowns, food trucks and a fireworks display to finish.

The passion, time and commitment displayed by the Renmark Christmas Celebration Committee Inc is something to be recognised and celebrated. Their hard work meant that a wonderful community event was delivered and enjoyed by the community. The event was a great way to kick off the festive season and brought joy to many children!

🥳 We look forward to celebrating the Renmark Christmas Celebration Committee's contribution to the community at Renmark Paringa Council's Australia Day event at Jarrett Memorial Gardens from 8am this Friday 🥳

Happy New Year!

May the new year bless you with health, wealth, and happiness.

Merry Christmas!

May the Christmas Season bring only happiness and joy to you and your family.
