Central Horsham's Christmas Extravaganza returns in 2022 with two Friday nights of street activation in the lead up to the festive season.
On Friday 2 December and Friday 16 December, central Horsham will come alive with activity and music, with celebrations centred around Friday night shopping and a giant Christmas tree.
The 5pm-to-9pm activities will be family-focussed and include a Horsham Youth Council-run scavenger hunt and an appearance from Santa. The Wimmera Woodturners will have a 'Santa's Workshop' stall, which will include mini Christmas tree giveaways for children.
It all starts on Friday 2 December when Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Robyn Gulline lights the six-metre Christmas tree to mark the opening of the festive season.
Roberts Place (between Ward Street and Firebrace Street) will be the focal point of the campaign to support local businesses during the festive period.
Throughout December, families and businesses will also be invited to join the Christmas shopping spirit through a local business roaming advent calendar initiative with a daily prize draw where $200 gift vouchers will be up for grabs each day until Christmas eve.
Crowds gather at the 2021 Christmas Extravaganza.
There will also be a Christmas shop window display competition for central Horsham businesses. The community will vote for their favourite window display and the prize is a $2000 Ace Radio advertising package and a night's accommodation in Melbourne.
For any stallholders or community members or groups wishing to get involved at the event, please contact Coordinator Investment and Business Development Annie Mintern on 0418 648 815.
Keep an eye out for more details coming soon and remember to shop local this Christmas season.
