Bring your favourite character to life and join the inaugural Magic Mile Costume Parade on Friday, December 4 for an evening of costumes, music and festive fun in the City Heart.

Families, friends and community groups of all ages are invited to dress up in their most magical costumes and take part in this free community parade. Participants will gather at the river end of Wood Street from 5.45pm before the parade begins at 6pm.

Led by lively parade marshals, the Magic Mile will wind through the city centre with music, dancing and plenty of Christmas cheer, creating a colourful spectacle for participants and spectators alike.

Adding to the excitement, prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed participants, so start planning your costumes and get creative.

The parade forms part of the City Heart Christmas celebrations and coincides with the opening of Disney: The Exhibition at the Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre, making it a perfect opportunity to embrace the magic and join in the festive atmosphere.

Whether you're a superhero, princess, pirate, movie character or something uniquely imaginative, everyone is welcome to participate.
