Holding the largest community street event in Australia comes with significant costs. This event is community run by dedicated volunteers, is not-for-profit, and runs on a tight budget. Presenting this FREE annual community event relies on the generous support of local businesses and individuals sponsoring the Festival.

Thanks to our sponsors we are able to do what we do best - celebrate the Magic of Winter. Our heartfelt thanks to our Festival Partners!

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PARADE SPECTATORS

W W W . W I N T E R M A G I C . C O M . A U

The Grand Parade starts at 11.30am but it is a good idea to get into position along Katoomba, Main and Parke Streets by 11.00am so you don’t miss anything.

If you are part of the parade, assemble at Katoomba Public School oval (Waratah Street entrance) no later than 10.30am.

Art Street is all around you in the shops of Katoomba Street.

Vote for your favourite artwork of the 2017 WMF Art Street exhibition in shops on Katoomba Street, via ballot or QR code.

Keep an eye out for the paper flowers & vine leaves outside participating shop-front windows. These will let you know where the art is located.

Art Street tours will start at the Festival Information Stand at the top of Katoomba Street at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm to help you navigate the walk and find all the beautiful art.

Look for the Gaia mascot holding the giant rose.

This year, the Winter Magic Festival celebrates the connection between Mother Earth and the Winter Solstice – the essence of the Festival. The magic of Winter comes alive as we celebrate the seasons, entering spring in preparation new life, new growth and new beginnings. The Gaia theme personifies nature and Mother Earth and the environment that we live in.

The theme inspires us to think about what magic means to each of us, whether it be the literal meaning of magic, the magic of community, the magic of the Blue Mountains, the magic of winter, the magic of mother earth and our home in a World Heritage Area.

The Parade does NOT end at the top of Katoomba Street. It keeps going around the corner along Main Street to Yeamans Bridge roundabout and up Parke Street, ending at Carrington Cellars.
