City of Adelaide Lighting of the Christmas Tree 2025

Soaring 25 metres into the air, and located in the heart of Tarntanyangga/Victoria Square, the City of Adelaide’s Christmas Tree is in a league of its own.

Keito were proud to manage end to end stage and production elements for 2025’s Lighting of the Christmas Tree, a large-scale community concert attracting more than 9000 attendees annually.

As well as managing stage theming, we worked in close collaboration with the City of Adelaide and stakeholders to develop a vibrant and diverse program of entertainment, culminating in over 76 individual performers across 7 different acts, and representing more than 12 different cultures.

Through careful attention to production schedules, detailed talent briefs, close collaboration with the AV team, and using our strong stage management expertise, Keito ensured that our client’s vision came to life seamlessly.

From the moment you were involved with the planning of our function I knew it was going to be a success. On the night you and your staff made the event flow seamlessly and our 300 guests have since passed very favourable comments regarding the night and the launch of our new office and identity.

From our perspective we loved the activation, how it presented and stood out on the day. We were really happy with the bus positioning too. Keito were also so easy to work with, so it was a pleasure.

It’s been a big year for us party-wise and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Keito to others…hopefully we’ll be able to work with Keito again. We have some amazing memories that wouldn’t be nearly as amazing if it wasn’t for Keito and the team.

Thank you to you and your team for all the assistance with the Showcase of Emerging Technology.  Feedback from the event has been overwhelmingly positive and there is talk this might become a fixture on our calendar. The co-ordination around the event was first class and is being reflected in the survey responses we are receiving.

We engaged Keito Events to assist with the planning and delivery of the University’s inaugural ‘Showcase of Emerging Technology’, an event held on our North Terrace campus and designed to engage the university community through showcasing cutting edge and innovative technology. Being a relatively large event (40+ technology vendors, 1000 attendees), and a first for the University, working with an experienced team in Keito was invaluable, and a key factor in the success of the event. Beth and the team were friendly and professional, and their enthusiasm and attention to detail made it a great experience from start to finish.

Beth and the team at Keito Events were fantastic.  They really added an extra level of detail to our event that made it run smoothly and ensured success.  Nothing was too much hassle for them, they were flexible, dynamic, prompt and clear in their communication.  I would definitely use them again.

Thank you for all the hard work in pulling off a really successful event last week.  The theme followed through, the small touches and considerations were really received well and appreciated and the co-ordination on the ground was smooth thanks to Jazlyn and Sophie, who were superstars.

I attended Juvare's User Conference in Brisbane last week, and I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about your amazing team. Jade and Sophie were exceptional in every aspect - whether it was planning, communication, their positive attitude, or their attention to even the smallest details. 

They had everything covered, making the entire experience both enjoyable and seamless. 

It was a pleasure to be there, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the outstanding work they are doing. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see the Keito team again soon!

Jo and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your work with the healing camp. We know we have the wind-up part still to do, but your approach to this event and partnership with us has been brilliant. We said to each other as we drove home yesterday that we can learn a lot from you about being unflappable, practical, solution-focused and patient! Look forward to further conversations once the dust settles and we wrap things up.
