Saturday, 28th November
This is the day Loxton begins celebrating the Festive Season. Enjoy strolling through the shops and market stalls, visit Santa in his cave, sip a cool drink or munch on scrumptious food while soaking up the entertainment or partaking in various activities available on the day.
Market stalls will operate between 3pm and 8:30pm. When the sun finally sets behind the river gums the fireworks will begin at 9pm. This display is one of the most spectacular examples of firework artistry in country SA. Don't miss it.
It's then time to drive around town and wonder at the fairyland that Loxton becomes after dark. Sheer Magic! Fairy lights twinkle all over town, reindeers prance on front lawns, but the true meaning of Christmas is not forgotten either.
