About Us

Sydney Needs a Christmas Celebration Worthy of the City

For years, Sydney has been missing a large-scale Christmas experience — one that transforms the city into a glowing hub of joy, culture, and connection.

How It Started

When Jolly was born three years ago, it planted something bigger. Something that could grow into a tradition. Something the city could call its own.

"Sydney is ready, and we've been trusted to bring it to life."

The Opportunity

Over the past year, through ongoing conversations with government, precinct partners, and community leaders, one thing has become clear. Jolly Night Market is the answer — a bold, joyful, and beautifully Australian celebration. Made for this city. Made for this moment.

Our intention is to create Sydney’s most joyful and iconic Christmas celebration — a night market that runs across 11 evenings and two weekends, inviting locals and driving visitors to (re)discover the city through a festive lens. We want it to feel warm, bright, and beautifully Australian.
