Celebrate the magic of Ballarat Winter with Hop Temple's Christmas in July – fun for the little and big kids alike.

They are transforming the venue and Hop Lane into a festive wonderland. Twinkling fairy lights, festive decorations, and live carols set the scene. Keep an ear out for our 4-piece brass band playing one evening.

You can expect snow, hot chocolate, mulled wine, festive food specials, their famous porchetta, Santa and a Christmas Trivia Night. They also have a Dog Day. Snap a photo with Santa and spoil your pup with a cupcake.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.

©️ 2025 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
