There's an illuminated light display, extended trading hours, and a program of festive experiences for all ages.
Festivities started Saturday, November 8 with Santa’s Arrival Parade, marking the official start of the Christmas season and Santa photography.
Outside, Kellicar Lane will be illuminated with a striking Christmas light display, creating a vibrant atmosphere from outdoor dining and family photos.
Inside families can enjoy a variety of Santa photography sessions, from classic and Pet portraits to Sensitive Santa and the ever-popular Grinch experience.
Black Friday, on Friday, November 28, will see customers who spend $100 or more in a single day rewarded with a complimentary Cinnascroll.
Shoppers can also enter the draw to win a $10k Airbnb getaway, simply by booking and having their Santa photo taken by Friday, December 5.
At the heart of the celebrations is a focus on giving back. The Kids of Macarthur Foundation will again host a gold coin gift wrapping service, with all proceeds supporting local children in need.
In partnership with State MP Greg Warren, the centre will also hold a Toy Drive, collecting gifts for families experiencing hardship this Christmas.
Home to more than 300 retailers, including David Jones, Sephora, Uniqlo, JB Hi-Fi, Ringers Western, Glasson’s, Ghanda and Peter Alexander, the centre is preparing up for its busiest season yet., with more than 1.5 million visitors expected to visit, spending $100M across fashion, gifts, and dining.
Macarthur Square Centre Manager, Jacqui Bell said the Christmas trading period is always a highlight for the centre.
