Christmas light displays have a proud tradition in Bayside, with residents decorating their homes with spectacular Christmas displays that delight the community year after year.
The Christmas light displays in Madrers Avenue attract many families who come to admire the displays, and Council installs temporary one-way street signage to help manage the traffic flow.
