COMMUNITY ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM

Ready to bring the magic and fill the streets of Ballarat with unforgettable festive energy?

We’re curating a vibrant, joyful, and festive live music program across the Ballarat CBD this December—and we want our incredible local musical community to take center stage and lead the celebration!

Christmas in Ballarat is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from local bands, musicians, choirs and community groups.

Where: High-energy pop-up music zones throughout Bridge Mall and Sturt Street

When: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout December, plus daily performances Monday – Thursday in the final countdown to Christmas Day!

Times: Flexible options across daytime and evening peak hours.

Whether you’re a long-time local favorite or an exciting emerging band, we want you to share your sound! Register your interest today and help us bring Christmas in Ballarat to life!

Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on Sunday 20 September 2026.
