At The Parkside Hotel & Spa, the holiday season is a time for community, connection and giving back. As we reflect on the joy and warmth this time of year brings, we’re thrilled to continue a cherished tradition that embodies the true spirit of the season.

Now in its second year, The Parkside Express – Festive Tracks of Giving has become a heartwarming highlight of the holiday season. From November 23 to January 5, our atrium transforms into a magical winter scene featuring a charming model train winding its way through festive scenery and twinkling lights. This display brings nostalgia and joy to guests of all ages while serving a meaningful purpose. 

The true magic of The Parkside Express lies in its mission to support Rainbow Kitchen, a vital organization in Victoria that provides free hot meals and food security services to those in need. Throughout the display, tap-to-donate stations make it easy for visitors to contribute to this important cause.

For those looking to take a piece of the experience home, our signature Christmas "Believe" Bell ornament is available for purchase, with all proceeds going directly to support Rainbow Kitchen’s programs. 

At The Parkside Hotel & Spa, we believe the holidays are a time to come together and make a difference. Whether you’re enjoying the magical scenery in our atrium or taking advantage of The Parkside Express package, you’re helping create a brighter season for everyone in our community. 

Join us in celebrating the joy of the holidays, where giving back is at the heart of it all. We can’t wait to welcome you!
