For over 30 years the community of Mount Pleasant, and its surrounding districts, have come together on the first Saturday of December to celebrate the festive season with a Christmas Parade and Street Party in the main street of the town.

Local community groups and clubs, as well as businesses, are amongst the participants of the Christmas Parade, which starts at Talunga Park and heads to the heart of the town, stopping outside the Soldiers Memorial Hall.

The main street will be lined with markets stalls offering everything from crafts and gifts, through to food and drinks. There will be activities for the children, street performers, a variety of competitions, raffles, and if we are lucky, we may even get a visit from the jolly man in red.

Everyone is welcome to join in, so please come along and enjoy a laid back, fun evening in the beautiful southern part of the Barossa Valley.

Please note the following:

1 - There will be no street parking along Melrose Street from Talunga Park through to Phillis Street from 4:30pm until 10:00pm. The road will be closed to through traffic in readiness for the parade to start. Please park in the back streets.

2 - If you are interested in having a stall, please email mp1.streetparty@gmail.com with your details. Applications must be received no later than the 1st November 2025.

3- If you are interested in being a part of our parade, please email mp.streetparty@gmail.com with your details, and an information pack will be forwarded to you.

4 - If you require any further information, please email mp.streetparty@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
