Visitors to Werribee city centre will be under no illusions as to what time of year it is, with a new nine-metre Christmas tree dominating Station Place.
The arrival of the new tree signals the beginning of the festive season in Wyndham with a host of fun activities and events planned for central Werribee in the weeks leading up to December 25.
Wyndham mayor Jennie Barrera encouraged residents to embrace the Christmas period and get involved.
“It is a great opportunity to get into the festive spirit and support our wonderful local retailers and the hospitality sector including our cafés and restaurants,” Cr Barrera said.
“We know that many of our residents are doing it tough, battling increases to the cost
of living and the impact of higher mortgage interest rates. Bringing the Christmas
spirit to our City Centre will hopefully provide some festive fun for families to enjoy.”
The festive fun starts with Santa and Friends greeting children on Watton Street from
4pm to 7pm on Friday December 1 and then every Friday and Saturday in December.
Also on Saturday in December, the Elves will be bring their interactive Elf house to life at the Piazza from 9am to 12noon.
Retailers in the Werribee City Centre are organising a special shopping day on
Sunday December 17 to thank and reward customers for shopping and supporting
local and customers can expect discounts and in-store treats.
Wyndham council is hosting a ‘12 Days of Christmas Giveaway’ campaign on the
Werribee city centre Facebook page for the first 12 days of
December featuring exclusive offers from local traders.
Hoppers Junction will also be joining in on the festive spirit, with the Twilight Bazaar on Friday December 15
from 4pm to 8pm.
