Adelaide Annual Christmas Pageant

An attempt for the Guinness World Record was made for the largest Mexican wave to celebrate the event’s theme of community.

For the first time, a Credit Union Christmas Pageant King and four Princes joined the Queen and Princesses to create the Pageant Royal Family and spread Pageant magic across South Australia. A second attempt was made at the Guinness World Record for the largest Mexican Wave. The wave travelled for 3.2 kilometres through the city around 7 corners but fell short of the numbers required.

The Credit Union Christmas Pageant Facebook page and free iPhone App were launched. The Pageant audience broke the Guinness World Record for the largest group of Carol Singers.

Junior royals added to the Credit Union Christmas Pageant Royal Family through a talent competition. A Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing red noses was achieved.

Pop star Samantha Jade became the first national celebrity to sing the Australian anthem at the start of the Pageant.

In 2014, the Credit Union Christmas Pageant celebrated the theme of 'Share the Pageant With Someone You Love'. For the first time, the event held a national competition to bring a Pageant fan's expat family to Adelaide to see the event, thanks to Tiger Air Australia.
