When winter settles over the Blue Mountains and mist rolls through the valleys, there’s no better time to celebrate the magic of Christmas in July.
Yulefest in the Blue Mountains is a beloved winter tradition — a season of roaring fireplaces, mulled wine, hearty feasts and festive cheer. And there is no setting more iconic or atmospheric than the historic Carrington Hotel in Katoomba.
For decades, Yulefest has brought families, friends, corporate groups and social clubs together to enjoy the warmth and nostalgia of a traditional Christmas celebration — right in the heart of winter.
Crisp mountain air, cosy heritage interiors and perhaps even a dusting of snow create the perfect backdrop for a mid-year festive escape. It’s Christmas as it was meant to be — intimate, elegant and filled with old-world charm.
The Carrington Hotel has been at the centre of Blue Mountains hospitality since 1883, making it a natural home for this treasured winter celebration.
