Wingecarribee Shire Council has pledged that the spirit of Christmas will be in full swing across the Highlands this holiday season, with a variety of festive activations
and community activities.
Although the Festival of Lights will not be held in Corbett Gardens this year, residents and visitors can still enjoy the season’s joy with the popular Santa’s Grotto and other Christmas events around the Shire.
This year, the beloved Santa’s Grotto, located in the Senior Citizens’ Hall in Corbett
Gardens will continue to enchant visitors in Bowral. It will provide families with a festive
experience filled with holiday cheer, thanks to C3 Destiny Church.
In addition to Santa’s Grotto, Council is actively supporting a Christmas activation program in towns and villages throughout the Shire. From decorative displays to community-led gatherings, the Shire will be filled with opportunities to enjoy the season.
Council’s support extends to towns and villages across the Shire through a dedicated
Christmas grants scheme, enabling community-led events and decorations. With $31,000 in funding allocated, village associations will be creating unique place-based celebrations, ensuring the spirit of Christmas can be enjoyed in every corner of the Shire.
Funding can be used for a variety of festivities, from holiday lights to community gatherings, with grants of up to $3,000 available for larger villages and up to $2,000 for smaller communities.
