  What visitors sayGoogle 4.7 ★ · 129 reviews

  Google reviewers call it Adelaide's must-see Christmas street, with music, ice-cream and coffee vans and a festive, almost carnival feel. The recurring complaints are crowds, traffic and parking — many say walk in — and some felt fewer houses joined in during 2025 than in earlier years.

  Adelaide's most famous Christmas street — walk it, don't drive it.
