The Wangaratta Christmas Market at Apex Park is a cherished annual event that brings together the community to celebrate the festive season. Typically held in early December, the market features a diverse array of stalls showcasing local artisans, craftspeople, and vendors from North East Victoria. Visitors can explore unique handmade gifts, festive decorations, and enjoy a variety of food and beverages.

The market often coincides with the Lighting of the Christmas Tree ceremony at Riverside Square, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with holiday cheer. Live entertainment, children's craft activities, face painting, and appearances by Santa Claus are common highlights, making it a family-friendly event that appeals to all ages.

In 2024, the Lighting of the Christmas Tree event was scheduled for December 6 but was unfortunately canceled due to inclement weather. However, the Christmas Market is set to proceed on December 20 at Apex Park, promising an evening of festive shopping and community spirit.
