If you have kids and they like Christmas, take them here. If you don't have kids and you like Christmas, take yourself here.

The West End Brewery Riverbank Christmas Light display has been running since 1959 and is a South Australian icon.



There are now generations of children who excitedly visit the display - some already in their pyjamas, preparing for dreams of Father Christmas arriving on his sleigh.

Long time family favourites at the display are Vulcan, the blacksmith in the volcano - he never stops working! There's the Christmas crackers which say Merry Christmas in lots of different languages, Moby Dick the whale who famously "escaped" during a severe storm one year and nearly made it to the open sea, the nativity scene, the colourful Ferris wheel and many more including, of course, Father Christmas and his reindeer.

The weeks in the lead up to Christmas get quite hectic, with weekend crowds making the area extremely busy. Fortunately, in recent years, the local council have set up speed zone limits and parking restrictions to help keep everyone safe while crossing roads and moving around the area.

The new tram line from the city goes right past the Brewery and would be a hassle free way to get to and from the lights display.



How Much
The entire event is free to attend. But, if you like, you can spend money at the food, drink, amusement rides and novelty vans that will be there every evening. Or, you can drop a coin or 2 into the Charles Sturt Community Wishing Well which is located near the Hindmarsh Bridge.

When
The Brewery Christmas lights will operate from 11am till midnight every day from the 2nd till 31st December, 2013.

Where
The display is on the corner of Port Road and Adam Street in Hindmarsh, directly opposite Channel 7 and the Entertainment Centre.
