Advent Calendar
Celebrate the spirit of Christmas as the East Shard at Federation Square is transformed into a magical Advent Calendar!

Enjoy a free performance at 9pm every night in December as talented aerialists, Hope and Inspiration, perform in front of a magical animation on the side of the building and unveil a new window each night.

Can you guess which Christmas image will be unveiled?

Bring the kids along and explore Fed Square's exciting display of Christmas installations throughout the Square. From brightly lit cellophane fish in the Fracture Gallery to giant parrots suspended from the ceiling of the Atrium, there's a surprise around every corner! Novelty-sized Christmas presents will be scattered across the site, each with an LED screen showing the many ways in which different cultures celebrate Christmas. And make sure you drop into the BMW Edge to see the incredible installation of Wollemi Pine trees. Indigenous to Australia, this rare tree species was thought to be extinct until 1994! With less than 100 specimens remaining in the wild, this majestic conifer is not only an ideal Australian Christmas Tree, but a symbol of indigenous survival, conservation and hope for the future.

Advent Calendar Performance

Time: 9pm nightly, with an extra finale performance at 11:30pm on 24th December

Duration: 20 minutes
