Community members of all ages can look forward to family fun at this year’s Edenvale City Improvement District’s Festival Lights and Street Carnival.
Visit the magical Santa’s Grotto where you can meet a snow princess, elves and Father Christmas.
While in the grotto, children will have the opportunity to get a photograph of them and Father Christmas taken.
Children interested in sharing their artistic talents with Father Christmas are encouraged to draw a special picture and put it in the post box which will be sent to the North Pole.
In the children’s area, there will be a variety of carnival games and dressed-up items in a photo prop area.
