Auburn Botanic Gardens Turns Into Whoville This Christmas 2018

After turning pink for the annual Cherry Blossom festival, Auburn Botanic Gardens will go green as it transforms into the Grinch's very own Whoville.

For one special night only, Dr Suess’ beloved Grinch will help us remember the true meaning of Christmas. After all, to quote the man in green himself, "Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more." 

The event is free for all Cumberland Council residents which celebrates the giving back to the community mentality of Christmas! 

Christmas in the Gardens celebration incorporates a Christmas light display, Christmas carols by local community groups, free rides and Christmas activities topped off with some great Dr. Suess themed foods and an open air movie screening of ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ starring Jim Carrey.
