Brimbank City Council’s events website lists eight free Christmas shows on local shopping strips between Saturday 5 and Monday 21 December 2026, from ukulele duos and a Christmas Cowboys duo to a children’s magic show and a reindeer afternoon. Melbourne is on daylight saving time in December (AEDT), so all times are local times.

This brief is built from the eight Brimbank Events listings, checked on Monday 9 November 2026. Each listing is short, and this guide notes where they disagree with themselves.

What is on, when and where?

Who are the performers?

Cherry & Sherry

The council describes Cherry & Sherry as wandering performers with ukuleles, who “serenade shoppers” with festive favourites, humour and interactive banter, in colourful costumes. They appear three times: on Berkshire Road in Sunshine North, on Main Road East in St Albans, and on Northumberland Road in Sunshine North. The council’s pitch is to “add some extra sparkle to your Christmas shopping”.

Christmas Cowboys

The Christmas Cowboys are a musical duo whose style the listings give as pop, ska, reggae, jazz and Christmas favourites. They play on Kings Road, St Albans, on Saturday 5 December and near Conrad Street on Saturday 12 December. The Kings Road and Conrad Street listings both say the show is presented by Brimbank City Council as part of the Enjoy Local Christmas Program.

In the Mood, Deer Park and Keilor Village

In the Mood is a keyboard, guitar and vocals duo that plays an eclectic mix of songs, on Leslie Street in St Albans. In Deer Park, the Reindeer and the Christmas Fairy roam the precinct handing out reindeer food packs and Christmas craft bags for children, while a singer performs Christmas carols through the afternoon. In Keilor Village, Charlie SillyPants runs a Christmas adventure show about a trip to the North Pole, with audience participation. The Keilor Village page also offers free face painting for children and a lollipop for every guest.

Where do the listings disagree with themselves?

  • Berkshire Road show. The date field on the listing shows 16 November 2026, but the text and the summary both say Thursday 10 December 2026, 11am to 1pm. The table above uses 10 December, which the text states twice, and it is flagged as unconfirmed.
  • Keilor Village address. The listing’s location field says near 702 Old Calder Highway, and the summary says near 767 Old Calder Highway. Both say Keilor Village.
  • St Albans listings. The Cherry & Sherry listing for Main Road East and the Christmas Cowboys listing for Kings Road each repeat the other’s details in part of their text. The table uses each listing’s date field and its summary, which agree with each other.
  • Conrad Street. The listing gives no suburb.

How do I get there, and where do I park?

None of the eight listings gives parking, public transport or road-closure advice, so none is given here. Each lists a street address, which can be entered into the Public Transport Victoria journey planner.

What else is on in Brimbank this season?

For larger December events, see the Brimbank Christmas guide, which covers the Festive Fun Day on 29 November, the skaters outside Sunshine Library and St Albans Christmas Magic on 11 December.

What is still unconfirmed?

  • The date of the Berkshire Road show.
  • The suburb of the Conrad Street show, and the exact Keilor Village address.
  • Parking and public transport for all eight shows.
  • Wet-weather plans.
