A Magical Christmas Lights Show Shines In City Heart

Mackay’s City Heart will come to life with a festive two-storey light show and beautifully decorated shop windows.
The City Heart Bright Lights will see a tropical-themed Christmas light show projected onto the Masonic Hall façade from the top floor of The Dispensary.
Mayor Greg Williamson said this was a first for our region and would be a sight to see for residents.
“This spectacular light show will run most nights from December 6 to December 14 and will be a real crowd-pleaser,” Mayor Williamson said.
“Everyone is invited to come to the City Centre, enjoy a meal and watch this tremendous two-storey show,” he said.
Mayor Williamson said while in the City Centre, visitors could do some good old-fashioned window shopping and check out the Christmas decorations.
“As part of the City Heart Magical Christmas Window competition, 25 City Heart retailers have decorated their shopfronts in a bid to win a fantastic prize thanks to StarFM.
“The businesses, including restaurants, clothing retailers and other service providers, have really gone all out to bring festive cheer to their shopfronts for everyone to admire.
“Visitors to the City Centre can vote for their favourite window via a QR code which will be visible in the front of the window.
“The winning retailer will have an outside broadcast by StarFM out the front of their business, a great opportunity for them to promote their business.
“A map of the businesses participating in the City Heart Magical Christmas Window competition will be available online along with the voting form.
“And don’t forget to also get your photo with our fantastic interactive Santa decoration on Wood Street – our City Heart is the place to be!”
