SAFETY INFORMATION
When finding a location please listen to directions from SES Volunteers, Security Staff and Event Staff. Your safety and the safety of others is very important to all involved with the event.
To ensure everyone's safety, please do not sit on the kerb or edge of the road when roads are open.
We recommend children sit at the front (behind the blue line) and adults stand behind, ensuring everyone has the best view of the pageant and remains safe.
The pageant draws very large crowds. Please consider this when planning your arrival time and viewing location. The start line at William Street is a very popular location, however not always the best spot to view the pageant. We suggest you move east down the pageant route to secure the best possible viewing location.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD IS SEPARATED FROM ME?

We encourage all parents/carers to take a photograph of their little ones before leaving home. On arrival at the Christmas Pageant visit Constable Care to collect a ‘Constable Care Wristband’ and record your contact details on it before attaching it to your child.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY RUBBISH?
Scouts volunteers will be there on the night handing out Keep Australia Beautiful rubbish bags for your convenience. Please use these bags for all your rubbish and then deposit them in one of the bins located along the pageant route. You can also help keep our city clean by taking your rubbish with you.
