Perth might be famous for beach sunsets, long lunches and pretending winter is “not that cold”… but come July, the city absolutely commits to the Christmas chaos too.
And honestly? I respect the dedication.
Because while the rest of the world is dealing with actual snow and frozen car windscreens, we are over here sipping mulled wine in 19-degree weather wearing a Kmart Christmas jumper and calling it “festive”. Iconic behaviour, really.
But somehow it works.
From cosy winter igloos and fancy festive high teas to pub feasts, fake snow, Christmas cocktails, live music and enough roast potatoes to emotionally heal you for at least a few days… Perth in 2026 is fully embracing the whole Christmas in July thing.
And look, if you have ever wanted to eat a full Christmas dinner without also sweating through your clothes in 38-degree December heat… this is your moment.
So grab your Santa hat, prepare yourself for Mariah Carey on repeat and have a look at some of the best Christmas in July events happening across Perth this year.
There are honestly so many good ones… and yes, I already want to book half of them.
Kingsley | Christmas in July 2026
Kingsley Tavern is going all in on Christmas in July this year with a full line-up of festive fun across July in the Lounge Bar — whether you’re after a party night, a long lunch or a full family day out.
Things kick off with a Xmas Party Night on Saturday 4 July from 8:30pm, featuring live music from HI-NRG, festive food and cocktail specials, and a full “dress to impress (or distress)” Christmas jumper moment. Think tinsel, glitter and late-night winter chaos done properly.
Then on Wednesday 15 July, it’s time for the Seniors Christmas in July Lunch, a cosy midweek celebration with a 2-course Christmas roast, live acoustic music from Nix Delaynii, Kingsley Bingo and even a special visit from Santa himself. Running 12pm–3pm, it is a relaxed festive afternoon with plenty of cheer for $39 per person.
And to wrap it all up, the Xmas in July Family Fun Day lands on Saturday 25 July, packed with roasts, kids entertainment, live music, Santa appearances throughout the day, and even a Christmas jumper competition. It is very much a “bring the whole crew and stay all day” kind of event, with activities running from midday through to the evening.
If you are looking for Christmas in July events in Perth that cover every vibe — party, family and everything in between — Kingsley Tavern has basically turned July into a full festive takeover.
Woodvale | Christmas in July Options 2026
Woodvale Tavern is turning July into a full Christmas takeover with a trio of festive events designed for families, seniors and anyone who just really loves a mid-year dose of Christmas cheer.

It is a full-day festive experience, with prices from $45 for adults and $22 for children.
Then on Sunday 19 July, the seniors get their moment with a cosy Christmas lunch featuring a 2-course festive menu, live acoustic music from Nix Delaynii, Woodvale Bingo and a special visit from Santa himself. Running 12pm–3pm, it is a relaxed afternoon of food, music and Christmas nostalgia for $39 per person.
To wrap things up, another Christmas Family Celebration Day arrives on Sunday 26 July with all the festive favourites — roast buffet, kids entertainment, Santa visits throughout the day, and live music from Solo Trent Williams and Solo Brandon Gray. It is the kind of Christmas in July event that turns a regular Sunday into a full-blown winter celebration for the whole family.
