Adelaide Photographer: Lot 14 Christmas Party
Lot Fourteen was buzzing with festive cheer in late November as the much-anticipated Lot Fourteen Christmas Party kicked off in the heart of Adelaide. With a mix of family fun, delicious food, and community spirit, the event brought together a diverse crowd eager to embrace the holiday season. As an Adelaide photographer, Lewis, immersed in the action, the event offered endless moments to capture—from heartwarming interactions to vibrant activities that showcased the creativity and generosity of Adelaide’s community.
The sprawling space at Lot Fourteen was transformed into a festive wonderland. There were sounds of laughter and upbeat tunes by DJ Tom Borgas filled the air. Attendees—a mix of families, professionals, and students—strolled through the area, soaking up the lively atmosphere. It wasn’t just the Christmassy themes that set the scene; it was the thoughtful details and meaningful activations that truly made this event stand out.
One of the highlights was the Furry Friends activation by Delta Therapy Dogs. Friendly and patient pups roamed the event, delighting both kids and adults. The joy on people’s faces as they patted the dogs or posed for photos was a testament to the healing magic these animals bring. Meanwhile, others were drawn to the Giant Games zone, where a basketball challenge, mini golf course, and oversized board games added a playful element to the festivities. These games created plenty of candid moments as families, friends, and strangers competed and laughed together.
Creativity was also front and centre at Lot Fourteen. The Make Space area, led by the ever-charismatic Calamity Tash, inspired attendees to channel their inner artist with hands-on crafting activities. Nearby, the Lego Lab invited both kids and adults to dive into Lego pits and tackle fun building challenges. The energy here was infectious as people worked collaboratively to bring their colourful creations to life - trying to build the largest tower.
Another thoughtful activation was the Make Your Mark tree, which encouraged guests to write heartfelt messages or hopes for the season. These personal touches hung delicately from the branches, creating a visual representation of the community’s collective spirit. It was hard not to be moved by the sincerity of these notes, each one adding to the festive atmosphere.
When it came to food, Lot Fourteen did not disappoint. The crowd gravitated towards the tacos from Señor Taco Food Truck, where the smoky aromas of freshly cooked tortillas and sizzling fillings tempted even the fullest of bellies. For those with a sweet tooth, the complimentary scoops from the Hokey Pokey Ice Cream Van were a hit, with flavours ranging from classic vanilla to more adventurous options. Meanwhile, the Stone & Chalk pop-up bar kept spirits high with refreshing drink specials, perfect for toasting the festive season.
But the event wasn’t just about having fun—it was also about giving back. Throughout the day, attendees generously supported initiatives aimed at helping vulnerable members of the community. The “Give a Gift” drive collected presents for teens, women, and children in need, while the food drive for the Hutt St Centre ensured that those experiencing homelessness would have something special this holiday season. QR codes placed around the venue made it easy to donate to worthy causes, including Lutheran Care, Catherine House, and St John’s Youth Services. These organisations work tirelessly to provide essential services, from crisis accommodation to mental health support, and their presence at the event was a poignant reminder of the season’s true spirit.
As the clock neared 7 pm, the festivities began to wind down. Guests lingered for a final round of mini golf or one last scoop of ice cream as the soft glow of twilight cast a warm hue over Lot Fourteen. Families packed up their Lego masterpieces, and friends exchanged goodbyes, their laughter still echoing in the festive air. The party ended on a high note, leaving attendees with hearts full of joy and a renewed sense of community spirit.
