In the true spirit of Christmas, the heart of Melbourne, Fed Square, is a bustling hub of Christmas action all month, with a range of free activities designed to excite and delight Melburnians and visitors alike at this special time of the year.

LEGO Christmas Tree

First stop is the largest LEGO Christmas tree in the southern hemisphere!  Lit up just last week, the tree is at the heart of Christmas at Fed Square.  Made and designed by LEGO Master Builder Chris Steininger, the tree is constructed from over half a million bricks and features a magical lightshow set to Christmas carols every evening.  See it light up and come to life as you marvel at its magic.  Daily until Sunday 27 December, 24 hours with sound and light show nightly from 9.00pm.

LEGO Christmas Decoration Building Workshops

In the spirit of the season, the whole family can build decorations made from LEGO to take home for their own tree, as part of these festive Christmas workshops.  Taking place on 6, 13 + 20 December from 10am – 3pm (or until the bricks run out), come and be inspired at The Square and take home your own unique creation!

LEGO Christmas Creations
