Celebrate Christmas in the City of Melton
Published on 29 November 2024
The City of Melton will come alive with Christmas cheer over the next month with a range of festive activities including carols, twilight festivals, and plenty of opportunities to meet Santa!
Council will again host the much-loved annual Carols by Candlelight at Hannah Watts Park on 14 December from 5pm. Come along and celebrate Christmas spirit with family and friends and enjoy a special screening of the Grinch Christmas Movie, followed by community performances, carols and a special appearance by Santa.
Community carols events in Diggers Rest and Caroline Springs will provide further opportunities to singalong and embrace the Christmas cheer.
For family fun, join Twilight Christmas at Hillside on 20 December for a Santa Disco, face painting, roving entertainment, and the chance to meet Mrs. Claus and Santa.
As if Santa isn’t busy enough, he will also be making his way to various locations around the City of Melton to meet and greet people as part of his very own roadshow.
For those wanting adventure, four Christmas-themed photo moments will be scattered around the City to capture festive snaps and create your own Christmas memories.
Other activities on offer include culinary Christmas creations for kids, DIY Christmas Wreaths, and festive film nights with the hilarious ‘Elf’ on the big screen.
