THE Mitchell Shire is gearing up for the festive season, with Kilmore’s Hudson Park to host Christmas carols on December 17.
Mitchell Shire Council and Discover Mitchell will partner with BGGROUPAU to stage the event, with residents invited to enjoy festive music and spend time with friends and family.
Mitchell Shire Mayor Fiona Stevens said the Christmas carols were an opportunity for people to connect and celebrate the year.
“Christmas is an important time for a lot of people in Mitchell Shire and it’s great to be able to come together and celebrate,” she said.
“It’s a time to reflect on what has been an eventful and challenging year in Mitchell Shire.”
Mitchell Shire musicians, dancers and market stalls will be present to provide entertainment throughout the evening, with several food trucks also available. However, visitors are encouraged to bring their own picnic food.
Kilmore Miniature Railway will also be operating between 6pm and 7pm.
“Last year’s event was a massive success, with hundreds turning up and getting into the festive spirit,” Cr Stevens said.
“I’m looking forward to hearing the sounds of Christmas at Hudson Park once again and I encourage the community to come along and get involved.”
Kilmore Christmas Carols will be from 5pm on Saturday, December 17 at Hudson Park.
