Parkview hosts its annual Christmas extravaganza at George Hay Park in aid of several worthy causes, including local soup kitchens, elderly care homes, abused women and children's shelters and HIV support groups. All proceeds raised from the market will go towards the Nicarela Charity. 

In addition to the more than 90 food and craft stalls, expect live music and dancers, a beer garden, champagne and oyster bar, gin bar and kids' fun fair with train rides, face painting, sand art classes and other hands-on activities for energetic youngsters. A full-on family event.
