A full day of music, dancing, and festive fun, all for a great cause, supporting Surf Life Saving Illawarra
Get your tickets here now!! Santa Fest is back for its 32nd year, and this time the party is all happening at one iconic location, the North Wollongong Hotel. Join us for a massive day of music, dancing, and festive fun, all while raising funds for two incredible local charities: Talk2MeBro and the Disabled Surfers Association. Born in the early 1990s as a humble Santa Pub Crawl for Charity, the event began with a small group of friends who wanted to spread Christmas cheer and do good while having fun. Over time, it grew into one of the longest-running and most recognised festive charity events in the world, bringing thousands of people together every December and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for local causes. In 2025, Santa Fest continues that proud legacy as one huge day-long celebration right here at North Gong. Expect high-energy sets, good vibes, and plenty of Christmas spirit, headlined by Tigerlily, with performances from Helena Ellis, Felixx, A-Shuffle, The Villains, Jonnie S, and DJ 13.
