Route Map
Pageant day is very busy in the city, so catching a bus, train or tram can be a more convenient way to travel to avoid traffic and parking delays. For further information about public transport routes and times, visit the Getting There page.

Pedestrian walkways across the pageant route
Due to the large crowds, it can be hard to cross the road during the Credit Union Christmas Pageant. Pedestrian crossovers are provided for easier movement. Exact locations of pedestrian crossovers are clearly marked on the pageant route map. While the pageant is in progress, pedestrians can only cross the pageant route at these walkways when a suitable gap exists between sets to allow safe crossing. Do not cross without permission from walkway officials.
Missing persons
The best way to prepare for pageant day and ensure that no-one goes missing is to have a plan. Arrange a pre-determined meeting place and time known to all members of your party/family at which to meet in case you get separated.
Write a parent or guardian's mobile phone number on your child's arm with a washable ink so that police and emergency services can contact the person for reunion with the child. Or pin an "If I'm lost" badge to your child (available from Credit Union Survival Sites which are identified on the route map).
The Credit Union Survival Sites set up along the pageant route make ideal meeting places.
A parent or guardian should make sure they know what their child is wearing, so a detailed description can be given to police and emergency services to help locate the child if they become lost.
Introduce your child to or point out the nearest police officer on the pageant route so they know who to go to if they lose sight of you.
If you need the police ...
There is a large police presence on Credit Union Christmas Pageant Day. In the unfortunate event that you should lose someone and are not promptly reunited, please contact the nearest police officer or go to the police stations at either 26 Hindley Street or 60 Wakefield Street to file a "missing person" report.
