The Christmas Pageant, marking the start of the festive season, takes place tomorrow morning. Road users should prepare for multiple closures throughout the CBD.
Major roads will be closed from early morning until the afternoon as over 300,000 people are expected to attend the annual event. The Pageant's route begins at South Terrace, continues along King William Street, skirts the western edge of Tarntanyangga, passes through Reconciliation Plaza, Wakefield Street, Pulteney Street, North Terrace, and ends at Beehive Corner.
A complete list of affected roads is available on the Christmas Pageant website.
"The Christmas Pageant brings huge numbers to the city each year so road closures will be in place tomorrow morning to keep everyone safe," said Charles Mountain, RAA Senior Manager Safety and Infrastructure.
"On-street parking will be as rare as a white Christmas, so check for off-street options and allow plenty of extra time if you’re driving to the Pageant."
All road users are urged to plan their travel to avoid delays and ensure safety during the event.
Summary: Extensive road closures tomorrow due to the Christmas Pageant; attendees and drivers must plan ahead and consider alternative parking options.
