Join us for a FREE community Christmas celebration as we gather to light the Bunjil Place Christmas tree.
Enjoy an afternoon and evening of live music, festive entertainment and family-friendly activities, all leading up to the magical tree-lighting moment.
Featuring performances from local choirs, bands and, fresh from her standout run on The Voice Australia, rising start Leyla Sabo will be performing live, while the Westernport Regional Band will fill the foyer with much-loved Christmas songs and traditional carols.
The festivities continue outdoors in the Plaza with family activities, roving entertainers and plenty of space to relax with friends and family. Pack a picnic or grab a bite from a food truck before settling in for a special outdoor screening of the Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life.
This year, help make someone else's Christmas more special by bringing a gift to place under the tree. Donations of non-perishable food, toys, books, games and gift cards are all welcome. Together with our charity partners, we'll help deliver joy to local people and families this Christmas.
Whether you're singing along to carols, enjoying the entertainment or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
