UPDATE: Temperatures are expected to reach 37°C on Saturday 6 December. Due to the weather conditions there is a total fire ban in place. We've made the decision to prioritise safety and not proceed with the fireworks show scheduled for 9pm. We understand this may be disappointing.
A few things to note: Please bring a shaded structure, sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of cold water to stay safe. There will be water refill stations available and lifeguards on duty for anyone who would like to swim. We will also have first aid officers on site to support community safety.
We can't wait to celebrate with you. We have amazing line up of entertainment, food stalls and Christmas activities coming your way.
The event features kids entertainment, special performances and plenty of food.
Bring your picnic blanket and settle in for an evening of festive entertainment and food, and don't forget to keep an eye out for Santa!
