Council’s annual Lockyer Valley Christmas Carnival is back!

You’re invited to come along on Friday 19 December, with Gatton’s North Street set to come alive with festive fun and community spirit.

Council’s Mayor, Tanya Milligan said the carnival remains one of the region’s most loved traditions.

“The Lockyer Valley Christmas Carnival is always a joyful family celebration.

“It’s a chance for our community to come together, enjoy some Christmas magic and celebrate the season in a truly special way. I hope we see you there,” Mayor Milligan said.

This year’s event will feature a visit from Santa, the popular ham wheel, roving festive characters, real-life reindeer for photos and a huge inflatable playground for all ages. Christmas markets and colourful displays will add even more festive cheer.

The stage program will include performances by local dance groups, traditional carols and favourite Christmas songs by talented local musicians.

A range of delicious food will be available from community groups and local vendors, with everything from classic dinner options to sweet treats.

Mayor Milligan said the carnival is the perfect way to embrace the season.

“It’s a night filled with smiles, music, good food and great company.

“Events like this remind us how lucky we are to live in such a connected and caring community,” she said.
