Christmas in Melbourne

Melbourne Light Parade – this annual event is getting bigger each year. Being in scouts our troop marched in the parade for 7 years, which was a lot of fun but after getting out of scouts I looked forward to just watching it. The route is from a Melbourne High School area to downtown City Hall. Streets are closed but spaces are taken early. I recommend parking close to where you will sit and then go eat or shop somewhere. The parade starts at 6pm, usually the 2nd Saturday of December. Just make sure you arrive in enough time to claim your spot. Of course if cuteness is not on your side, then out holly jolly, someone is bound to come your way with some candy.
