Centennial Pioneer Park and the Civic Centre Gardens are set to transform into a magical Christmas wonderland with the return of the City of Gosnells’ free Jingle All the Way festive celebration.
This year’s event is being held on Saturday, December 14, from 5 pm to 9 pm and will feature a host of joyous activities for the whole family to enjoy, including craft activities, food trucks, roving performers, and festive music.
Making the long journey all the way from the North Pole, the big man himself, Santa, along with Mrs Claus, will make a special appearance, spreading festive cheer as they greet excited children and pose for photos with families at a dedicated booth.
The Christmas extravaganza is a wheelchair-accessible event with a 1.5km trail that offers a festive adventure, inviting visitors to explore Gosnells’ parkland and embrace the Christmas spirit with Santa and his helpers along the way.
Even the Grinch will be there to join in on the fun, adding his cheeky twist to the event.
Gosnells Mayor Terresa Lynes said she’s counting down the days until the event and is pleased to see it return for another year.
“Christmas is such a special time of year for many families, and the City is incredibly proud to be able to bring this free festive event back for the community,” Mayor Terresa Lynes said.
“This year’s event will introduce a new Santa’s Toybox experience that children will love, as part of the 1.5km interactive Christmas trail that weaves through the park, with plenty of fun, festive stops that families can enjoy along the way.”
The magic of Christmas will shine throughout the evening, with the trail leading to a festive concert in the Civic Centre Gardens, featuring performances by Switch, the Jingle Belles duo, the Sweet Teas, and Class Act.
The winners of this year’s City of Gosnells Safe City Christmas Lights Competition will also be announced on the night.
