Malanda’s in the Christmas spirit
IT’S almost that time of year and Malanda is ready to get into the Christmas spirit, with its popular annual festival to be staged on Thursday evening.
The Malanda Christmas Festival is back and is gearing up to be better than ever.
Held from 4pm-8pm, attendees can expect an evening of fanfare, festivities, and family fun.
Once again, the festival will encompass the area in front of Eacham Memorial Gates, closing off parts of Catherine Street, as well as the full length of English Street.
Patrons can enjoy live music, local performances, face painting, and a magical photo op with Santa.
The primary attraction, however, is the festival’s local, late night shopping, with more than 80 market stalls and food vans participating, as well as many local businesses who will stay open during the festivities.
The Malanda Chamber of Commerce is proud to host this annual extravaganza which also kicks off the town’s highly anticipated Shop Local Campaign.
The campaign, which culminates on Christmas Eve, provides opportunities to win over 20 prizes donated by a variety of Chamber of Commerce businesses, including a $1000 SPAR Malanda voucher.
The Street Festival is a much-loved local tradition that unites the community for an unforgettable Christmas celebration.
