One of Melbourne’s most beloved and highly rated Christmas light displays has announced that 2025 was its final year, with the iconic display at 11 Rawdon Court, Boronia, VIC officially retiring after an incredible 30 years of spreading Christmas magic to the community.
For three decades, the Boronia display has been a must-visit destination for families across Melbourne during the festive season. Consistently ranked among the highest-rated displays on ChristmasLightSearch it has become a cherished Christmas tradition for thousands of visitors who returned year after year to experience its festive atmosphere and spectacular decorations.
Over the years, the display has grown from a local neighbourhood attraction into one of Victoria’s most recognised Christmas light destinations, drawing visitors from across Melbourne and beyond. The dedication, creativity and generosity of the family behind the display have helped create countless Christmas memories for children and adults alike.
In recent years, the display has also become known for its incredible fundraising efforts in support of the Royal Children’s Hospital. Over the past four years alone, visitors have generously donated to the cause, with the display raising an extraordinary amount for the charity.
In 2025, the final season of the display raised more than $35,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital, making it one of the most successful fundraising Christmas displays in Australia.
A Difficult Decision After 30 Years
The owners shared an emotional message with the community announcing the end of the display:
It’s with a heavy heart that we announce this year will be the final year of our Christmas display.
For three decades, we’ve loved creating magic for the community, and for the past four years, we’ve proudly raised funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital thanks to your generosity.
Unfortunately, the growing number of visitors has brought challenges—parking issues, littering, and a lack of respect for our neighborhood—that have made it difficult to continue.
We want to thank everyone who has shared in the joy and supported our cause over the years. Your smiles and donations have meant the world to us.
While the display's retirement will be disappointing news for many Christmas lights enthusiasts, the family's commitment to the community, fundraising, and spreading Christmas cheer over the past 30 years has left a lasting legacy that will not be forgotten.
The display at 11 Rawdon Court has brought joy to generations of families and has become a benchmark for Christmas displays across Victoria. Its impact extends far beyond the lights themselves, with tens of thousands of dollars raised for charity and countless memories created for visitors of all ages.
