Santa's coming to town!

This December, Santa will be visiting Altona, Newport, and Williamstown, ready to capture some festive memories with you and your family. Join us for a special holiday photo opportunity and make this season extra magical!

No bookings needed for this FREE event – arrive early to secure your spot and make the most of the fun!

Bring Your Pets Along!

If your furry friends are part of the family, they’re welcome too! Santa will be taking pet-friendly photos during the Altona session only - perfect for capturing those pawsome holiday moments. Please note, dogs must be on-leash at all times. 

Pet-Free Sessions

For families with little ones who may be uncomfortable around pets, we recommend attending one of the pet-free sessions in Newport or Williamstown.

Santa Photo Session Details:

  • Saturday, 7 December: 10am - 1pm at Civic Centre, Altona 
    *With wet weather on the way, we've moved this session to the Civic Centre. Well-behaved pets are still very welcome!
  • Saturday, 14 December: 10am - 1pm at Commonwealth Reserve, Williamstown
  • Saturday, 21 December: 10am - 1pm at Paine Reserve, Newport

Accessibility 

To ensure comfort, our Santa photo sessions will take place in the rotunda at each reserve, providing shelter from rain and minimising glare from the sun. Please note, however, that the rotunda at Commonwealth Reserve includes stairs, which may present accessibility challenges for individuals with mobility needs. For those who may have difficulty with stairs, we recommend attending the sessions at Newport or Altona, which are more accessible.

Come along, meet Santa, and enjoy a festive day out in Hobsons Bay!
