Get fired up for festive fun in Brimbank

Brimbank will be bursting with festivities throughout December as the community comes together to spread good cheer during the most wonderful time of the year.

The main event will be a Festive Family Fun Day on Saturday, December 2, from 11am-3pm, at Green Gully Reserve in Keilor Downs.

Entry is free, and family and friends are invited to enjoy a full stage show program of entertainment, community performers and sing-a-long Christmas carols.

The day will also feature plenty of delicious food, as well as face painting, craft activities for the kids to show off their creative flair or they can learn how to hoola hoop.

Visitors will get the chance to pose for a festive photo in the Christmas Wonderland with the jolly fellow in red, Santa Claus. There will be an accessible drop-off zone at this event and a chill-out zone for a space to rest.

Check out the popular Sunshine Christmas de Lights on Friday, December 1, from 3–6.30pm at Civic Green in Hampshire Road.

Get photos with Santa in the big red chair, see stilt-walking Christmas beetles, a roller skating elf, plus face painting and festive music.
