Too much Christmas is never enough must be the motto at Camden these days. After successful community Christmas events in the past few days, including a festival and a concert, Camden Council now have unveiled plans for the inaugural Twilight Christmas Markets at Larkin Place.

The markets will offer one evening of great fun on Thursday, December 15, from 5pm to 9pm.

Market stalls, food, music, kids’ activities and much more will be on the menu.

Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said the markets were set to bring even more Christmas cheer to the area.

“Loving Christmas is easy, and council is committed to providing its community with opportunities to have fun, embrace the season and get together with family and friends,” Cr Fedeli said.

“Our Christmas festivities kicked off with thousands in attendance at Camden Christmas Festival (pictured above) followed by Oran Park Christmas concert most recently, and the Twilight Christmas Markets will continue to spread Christmas joy for all of us.

“You will be able to get your hands on a range of gift options created by local artists and much more in our beautiful Larkin Place in Camden.

“I encourage the community to get into the festive spirit and join us for a fun evening.”

Council has also partnered with Macarthur Salvos Christmas Appeal and is asking residents to dig deep and buy toys, non-perishable grocery items or donate money to help those in need this Christmas.

The annual Mayor’s Christmas Giving Appeal is now open with items to be accepted until Friday, December 16.

Residents can drop off gifts at Christmas trees located at Camden, Narellan and Oran Park Libraries, as well as Camden Civic Centre.

Non-perishable grocery items and new toys for children aged up to 17 years that are unwrapped will only be accepted.
