The city's Christmas: in past years a forest of 150 real pine trees across the Mall, themed Christmas windows, giant Santas and swinging bells overhead, with Myer's Santaland and the David Jones Magic Cave either end. The council has set aside $213,000 for the Mall and $359,000 for the Central Market's decorations in 2026, so expect at least as much as last year; the detail comes out with the pageant.
