Festive sparkle in Hillside

Hillside is set to shine with festive cheer as the community comes together for Twilight Christmas at Hillside on Friday 19 December.

Running between 3.30-6.30pm at the Hillside Shopping Centre, the free family-friendly celebration promises an afternoon packed with colour, music and Christmas magic.

Shoppers and families can look forward to a special visit from Santa and Mrs Claus, who will be available for photos and meet-and-greets throughout the event.

Little ones can dance the afternoon away at the Lively Santa Disco, while roving performers bring added energy and excitement to the centre’s outdoor spaces.

The event also offers the perfect opportunity to embrace the season of giving by supporting the area’s local cafes and restaurants, with many eateries within the centre offering special deals just for the evening, making it an ideal chance to enjoy a relaxed dinner, a festive treat or a post-shopping snack while soaking up the cheerful atmosphere.

Residents, locals, community members, visitors and everyone in between are being invited to gather their family and friends to make the most of the community celebration, which marks a highlight on the local festive calendar each year.

For those looking to immerse themselves even further in the Christmas spirit, a full line-up of seasonal events happening across the municipality can be found at www.melton.vic.gov.au/Out-n-About/Events/Christmas-in-the-City-of-Melton, with regular updates shared via the Melton City Much More Facebook Page.
