It's only three weeks until the big day, but Santa is in Perth for a whirlwind trip this weekend.
He'll be joined by a few colourful friends during a Christmas carnival in Forrest Place on Sunday, which will also feature mini golf, a bouncy castle and petting zoo.

Santa was also the guest of honour at the Christmas pageant on Saturday night, which will start at 7.30pm.

The parade will begin at the corner of Saint Georges Terrace and William Street, work its way in an easterly direction through the city before turning toward the river at Plain Street in East Perth.
The finish point is at the corner of Plain Street and Terrace Road, near Langley Park.

More than 2,000 performers will entertain the crowds alongside dancers, marching bands and floats.

For those who can't make it into town, the pageant will be televised on Sunday night and again on Christmas Day.

From 12 noon on Sunday, Father Christmas is tipped to make a special appearance at the Northbridge Piazza and may stick around to catch a 4.00pm screening of Will Ferrell film Elf.
