tis (almost) the SEEson in Subi!
Christmas is one of the busiest and most vibrant times of the year in Subiaco, creating opportunities for local businesses, community organisations and visitors to come together and celebrate the festive season.
The City of Subiaco, through our destination marketing brand, See Subiaco, is bringing festive cheer to the city this Christmas with a campaign designed to attract visitors, support local businesses, and celebrate everything that makes Subiaco special. From community giving initiatives to festive experiences and business activations, there are plenty of ways to get involved this season.
Christmas Giving Appeal
The festive season is an opportunity to strengthen community connections and support those who may need a helping hand.
The annual Subiaco Christmas Giving Appeal, coordinated by Subi Church, is seeking donations to help deliver the Subiaco Christmas Lunch, a community event that brings people together on Christmas Day. Contributions such as desserts, drinks, bon bons and small gifts help create a welcoming and memorable experience for attendees, many of whom may otherwise spend the day alone.
Businesses can support the appeal through donations, workplace collections or by encouraging staff and customers to contribute. Even small acts of generosity can make a meaningful difference during the festive season.
Businesses and community members who would like to contribute or learn more about supporting the Christmas Lunch are encouraged to contact Subi Church at office@subiacochurch.com.
Festive Sundowners and Private Group Tours
As businesses begin planning end-of-year functions and festive catch-ups, Subiaco offers a unique opportunity to celebrate close to home while supporting local hospitality venues and experiences.
Oh Hey WA's Festive Subi Sundowner is a relaxed after-work Christmas outing designed for small teams looking for a memorable way to celebrate the season. Running on Wednesdays 2, 9 and 16 December from 5pm, the guided experience takes participants through Subiaco's laneways and public art while enjoying the festive atmosphere of the city. Along the way, guests will visit three local venues to enjoy a festive drink or shared nibbles, providing a chance to connect, unwind and experience some of Subiaco's hospitality offerings.
Supported by the City of Subiaco, the experience provides a simple and affordable option for businesses, with no planning required. Teams can simply choose a date, book their tickets and enjoy an evening exploring the city together.

For organisations looking for something more tailored, Oh Hey WA also offers private group tours suitable for staff Christmas parties, client appreciation events, celebrations and team outings. Available throughout the festive season, these experiences can be customised to suit different group sizes, interests and budgets. Options include a guided street art walk through Subiaco's laneways, finishing at a local venue, or an all-inclusive small bar and street art tour featuring drinks and shared food at three local hospitality venues.

Get Involved in Christmas 2026
Local businesses play an important role in creating a festive atmosphere across the city and making Subiaco an attractive destination during the holiday season.
Whether through seasonal promotions, festive retail displays, Christmas-themed menus, workshops, events or special offers, business activations help create reasons for people to visit, stay longer and explore more of the city. Collectively, these experiences contribute to a vibrant destination and encourage residents and visitors to support local throughout the festive season.
Businesses planning a Christmas promotion, event or activation are encouraged to share their plans with the See Subiaco team. Featured offers and events can be promoted through the See Subiaco website and Christmas campaign, helping connect businesses with new audiences and showcase the diverse experiences available across Subiaco this festive season.
