Adelaide’s Giant Christmas Tree | Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga | 21 Nov 2026
Adelaide’s New Christmas Tree in Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga 2026.
A brand-new Christmas Tree is coming to Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga in Adelaide for Christmas 2026, with a spectacular new design celebrating South Australia. The new Christmas Tree lights up on 21 November 2026.
Standing 25 metres high, the new Adelaide Christmas Tree will feature 66,500 programmable LED lights, almost 3,400 decorations and a 3.3-metre illuminated star, along with an impressive light and sound display.
Designed by Australian Christmas tree specialists Visual Inspirations Australia, the tree’s theme, Beneath the Southern Sky, takes inspiration from South Australia’s coast, Adelaide Hills, bush, outback, vineyards and night sky.
The new tree will become a Christmas centrepiece in Adelaide, joining a program of festive events and celebrations across the city.
