Santa Claus will make a spectacular entry to this year’s Campbelltown City Christmas Carols.
He will be arriving from the sky to join the festivities at the athletics centre of Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Saturday, December 1.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr George Brticevic said Santa’s arrival would be one of the highlights of his year’s event.
“We are excited to have Santa Claus with us again this year and his arrival will be an incredible spectacle to watch and a great thrill for the children in the audience,’’ Cr Brticevic said.
“We are very glad that Santa is able to take time out from his busy schedule to join us.’’
All residents are invited to pack a blanket and join host Nathan Foley for this popular annual event which runs from 5pm to 9pm.
Foley, who is best known for his success as a singer and performer for 10 years on Channel 9’s Hi-5, will be joined by a full band and a stream of talented local performers at the event.
“Most of the carollers who will be performing on the stage are local residents and this celebration will be a great opportunity for them to sing in front of their families, friends and the wider community,’’ Cr Brticevic said.
“Campbelltown City Christmas Carols is also a great alternative for residents and people with young families so they don’t have to travel all the way into Sydney city to enjoy the festive spirit and a community event like this one.’’
The free festivities begin with pre-show entertainment at 5pm, followed by carols from 6pm and concluding with a spectacular fireworks display at 9pm.
Free children’s craft workshops will be held between 5-7pm.
Footy and soccer fans will be entertained with ball games and a soccer clinic provided by the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Western Sydney Wanderers.
There will be a special performance from Matavai Cultural Arts and a Pacific choir at the event.
People can also buy glow and light up products to wave on the night.
There will also be a variety of delicious food options to purchase at the celebration.
Visitors are also invited to donate to the Mayor’s Annual Christmas Appeal at the event by leaving a new and unwrapped gift or non-perishable food item in the collection box which will be located near the Council information tent.
