Christmas with the Con 2025Presented by the Riverina Conservatorium of Music
Join us for a magical evening as the Riverina Conservatorium of Music proudly presents the fourth annual Christmas with the Con — a spectacular FREE community celebration of the festive season, set against the stunning backdrop of Wagga Wagga’s Riverside precinct stage.
This much-loved event will feature a vibrant program of classical, traditional, and contemporary Christmas music performed by the Riverina Conservatorium Orchestra, Simmons Street Big Band, Combined Concert Bands, Mass Choirs, instrumental ensembles, and featured soloists.
In a dazzling showcase of local talent, more than 220 professional and aspiring musicians will take the stage to deliver a joyful and entertaining concert for all ages. The evening will culminate in a powerful finale, featuring a specially orchestrated Christmas Medley performed by the Conservatorium Orchestra, followed by a breathtaking fireworks display over the majestic Murrumbidgee River.
To make sure everyone has the best view, two large display screens will livestream the entire concert, so you won’t miss a single note or moment — no matter where you’re seated.
There will be a variety of food and drink vendors on site, but you are also welcome to pack a picnic and enjoy the evening your way.
Adding to the festive spirit, the event will include the Light a Light of Hope tree lighting ceremony in partnership with Riverina charity Country Hope, supporting local families through this important fundraising initiative.
Christmas with the Con 2025 is a free event proudly supported by the Wagga Wagga City Council through their Major Events, Festival and Film Sponsorship program.
Bring your family, bring your friends, and celebrate the season with one of the Riverina’s most exciting musical events. It will be a night to remember.
PLEASE NOTE: that due to the Fireworks Exclusion Zone, the river walkway entrance into the Riverside Precinct (behind St John's Anglican Church) will be closed from 7:45pm to 9:15pm on the evening of the event. During this time, no one will be allowed in this area or to walk through this section of the footpath. No exceptions.
