Rio Tinto Christmas Lights Trial
Perth
With 22 light installations, there is plenty to see over the course of this route which starts at Northbridge Piazza and finishes up at Elizabeth Quay.
If you are doubtful little legs can walk that far, there is also the shorter, family-friendly Merry Mile. The displays are lit up every night, 6pm to 3am, until January 2, with additional free entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mandurah Christmas Lights Trail
Mandurah
Starting on Friday, the trail runs from the Eastern Foreshore, Mandjar Square and the Mandurah Ocean Marina. Keep an eye out for Santa on the foreshore, although standing at four metres he might be hard to miss.
Visitors should also glimpse a reindeer and sleigh, a Christmasy Volkswagen bus, and even a pirate ship.
The lights are on each night in December from 6:30pm to midnight until January 7.
The Magic of Christmas

Tickets start from $6.
