Consulate Court, Thornlie WA Christmas Lights

The beloved Christmas lights display at Consulate Court, Thornlie, has been a cherished Perth tradition for over three decades. The residents have announced via their Consulate Court Christmas Lights Facebook page that their 2024 display marked the final year of their spectacular community tradition.

 

The court will not be continuing their Christmas lights display in 2025.

 

A Legacy of Light and Community Spirit

 

For more than 30 years, Consulate Court transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland each December. When the tradition began, they were among the very few coordinated displays in Perth, let alone an entire street working together to create such a spectacular show.

 

As shared in their farewell announcement, "The impact of these displays extends far beyond mere decoration. The court has been the backdrop for countless special moments - from marriage proposals under lit pergolas to annual visits from community groups, including Santa appearances, carol singers, and cosplayers. The displays have even become multi-generational, with adults who visited as children now bringing their own children to experience the magic."

 

An Impressive Charitable Legacy

 

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Consulate Court Christmas lights has been its contribution to various charities. Through the generosity of visitors, the community has raised close to $300,000 over the past 20 years - an extraordinary achievement that has made a significant difference to many worthy causes.

 

The Decision to Conclude

 

The residents' decision to end this beloved tradition hasn't been made lightly. In their own words, they have "agonised over it, but have come to a collective decision it is the right time to finish." They acknowledge the joy they've brought to the community, sharing stories of elderly and disabled visitors arriving by bus, and people returning year after year to see their favorite display pieces.

 

The Consulate Court Christmas Lights have brought joy to countless visitors over the years, and while many will be sad to see them go, we are grateful to the residents who have put on these magnificent displays for the past 30 years and understand their decision to conclude this cherished tradition.
