The adopted festival theme is “KingsXmas on the Edge…where all your Santa’s come at once” The Festival will commence at 11am and close at 10 PM . There will be a motorcade of special Santa’s at the start of the opening ceremony. The festival will be officially opened at 12.30pm by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore MP. Special presentations will include a special troupe of ‘Twisted Santa’s’ Biker Santa, Cocktail Santa, Backpacker Santa, Gym-Fitness Santa, Tattoo Santa plus others, all of whom will be located throughout the festival zone. The Festival will showcase a variety of quality local restaurants, including the best pizza in the world - award winning Hugo’s Bar Pizza, Arun Thai, Doma (Czech), Il Fagiano, Malabar (Indian), Sirocco, Two Chefs on Stanley, Unas and Zachary’s. The Soho Bar & Lounge, The Empire, Vegas Hotel and Crest Hotel are setting up large outdoor bars where food will also be served.

Entertainment will include the most appropriate and ever popular Viva the band with their “continental” presentations of music from such diverse cultures as French, Spanish, Hungarian, Russian, Brazilian, Gypsy Jazz, Zydeco, Latin, Salsa and typical American swing, jazz and cabaret show tunes. Viva the band is very popular at Jazz festivals and community events for their rich diverse repertoire of music, presented with musette accordion, bass, guitar, congas, percussion and two delightful vocalists who harmonize French and Spanish songs.
