Mayor of Camden, Cr Theresa Fedeli, said there would be routine maintenance work done to ensure they are ready to go for the big event.
“I’ll be lighting the tree on Saturday, November 23,” Cr Fedeli said.
“I’m excited to have the Mayoral Christmas card competition winner, who will be announced that night, to light the tree with me.
“Christmas is such a fantastic time of year, filled with so much happiness and generosity.
“I really encourage our community to head down to the Jacaranda Festival and spend time with family, friends and the broader Camden community.
“There’s such a beautiful atmosphere at the event and it really is a celebration of the beautiful Camden area.”
