PARTNER WITH THE NATIONAL PHARMACIES CHRISTMAS PAGENT 

The National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant is the world’s second-largest public parade and the traditional start to the festive season in Adelaide, with hundreds of thousands of happy faces lining its 3.2-kilometre route each November. The event is owned and managed by the South Australian Tourism Commission on behalf of the South Australian Government.  

Every year a huge culturally diverse audience of children and adults eagerly awaits the arrival of floats as this magical parade brings Christmas joy to the streets of Adelaide.  

Growth initiatives such as activations, public engagement, national media coverage and television promotion, education and merchandising have seen the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant continue to build and shape its legacy.  

Since 1933 the event has delighted South Australians, sharing the festive spirit through each character, float, band and clown. It celebrated 90 years in 2022 and allows families and friends to share joy, amazement and a powerful sense of community.
