Join our Family Fun Day

Shop windows, beautifully adorned with tinsel, baubles and Christmas scenes and Chanukah decorations, are coming alive with festive spirit, and the friendly welcome of vendors revealing their seasonal joyful cheer.

Throughout the Family Fun Day, the air will be filled with festive tunes, played by live musicians. There’ll be balloon artists, festive face painting, circus performers and festive season arts and crafts, making it a not-to-be-missed celebration.

You can also jump aboard an antique fire truck and enjoy a free ride down Glen Huntly Rd!

Celebrate Chanukah

The festive season is celebrated by many cultures and religions, and for our vibrant Jewish community, it’s Chanukah – a time where families and friends come together to enjoy food and family festivities.

Elsternwick Village is joining in the Chanukah celebrations, with candle decorations throughout the precinct.

Elsternwick Village also has everything you need for your Chanukah celebrations. Ruby’s Gifts has a wide range of Judaica gifts, as well as tableware and home decorations for Chanukah celebrations, including kitchenware and candlesticks.

Chunukah feasts start with fresh produce, groceries and wine, so stop by Kosher Kingdom for all your needs.

All your Chanukah cakes and pastries can be picked up at Aviv Cakes and Bagels, and for your gluten-free friends and family, head to Glazed Gluten Free Patisserie.

Do your festive shopping

In Elsternwick Village, festive season shopping is less of a hassle and more of an annual festive season tradition. The festive atmosphere fills the streets, as shoppers and vendors share seasonal greetings or just a warm smile.

Our wide range of stores make sure you’ll find gifts for everyone on your list in the one place. Our fashion stores will make you the star at every festive season event and our fresh food grocers and butchers, delis, and supermarkets will have you cooking up a festive feast worthy of celebrating.
