Christmas is a time of LOVE to spend with family and friends. In Darwin the 25th December is a day to reflect and be thankful for family and friends. In 1974 Darwin was ripped apart on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day by Cyclone Tracy.
So every Christmas Day since is very special for Darwin and it's population. And if you are in Darwin for Christmas as a local or visitor please do share that sense of community around!
For Christmas it should be warm. It is the wet season up in the top of the Territory and it could include storms and rain. It can also be quite humid!
There are some super venues in Darwin town centre and down at the Harbour. We have some great ideas for you. Whether it is a Christmas Party for a work break up or it is dining on Christmas Day.
Whatever you do make sure you crack a bon bon and Merry Christmas.

If it's a Christmas party or Christmas day lunch you are planning hopefully this information helps.
