A Message from the Lord Mayor

Christmas comes alive at Marvel Stadium when Santa teams up with the AFL for the festive season. For the month of December, the stadium is transformed into a magical North Pole, featuring AFL-themed Christmas trees and fun family experiences. Visitors will be immersed in the Cinema Dome and can snap a selfie in front of their footy team’s Christmas tree.
