Horsham Rotary Club hosted the event in conjunction with Oasis Wimmera.
Rotary international director Loloma Puls said about 40 children plus parents participated in a range of games and enjoyed afternoon tea.
“It was a great day, everyone had a lot of fun,” she said.
“This is the first time we’ve done it and we hope to be able to do it again.”
Children enjoyed face-painting and participated in egg and spoon and three-legged races.
Mrs Puls said a magic show and Santa’s arrival in a fire truck were among highlights.
She said Oasis Wimmera did a fantastic job helping migrants settle into the community.
“The Oasis group has a special day for migrants and this Christmas celebration followed on from that,” she said.
“I’m amazed by all the nationalities we have in Horsham.”
