Eat, drink, shop and be merry – there’s something for the whole family at this year’s City Heart Christmas celebrations.
The annual City Heart Christmas will be on Friday, December 6, from 4pm to 8pm.
Events will be spread throughout the City Centre, from Macalister Street to Sydney Street and from River Street to Gordon Street.
Mayor Greg Williamson said it was tremendous to see the annual City Heart Christmas celebrations growing into an exciting family event.
“There is so much planned for our City Centre this year, with some new and exciting activities,” Mayor Williamson said.
“This year for the first time there will be a Guided Silent Disco where participants don Guru Dudu headsets and groove their way through the streets,” he said.
“This is a really fun and engaging experience with different times available for different age groups. Don’t miss out on that one.
“Another feature will be the Century 21 Laneway Christmas Markets, in Ninth Lane, with all your favourite local artisans.
“There’ll also be the regular family favourites including face painting and glitter tattoos, Fifth Lane kids’ activities, Sensory Circus kids’ workshop, Merry Stencils Graffiti Wall and late-night shopping.
“And, of course, bring the kids to meet the jolly man in red himself at Let the Children Play Toyshop on Macalister Street at 6.30pm.”
Also kicking off on Friday, December 6, will be Santa’s Secret Present Search.
This fun adventure through the City Heart will have participants follow clues to collect the secret presents that Santa has hidden inside 10 city stores.
Go online and solve the clues to find the next destination on your quest. Look out for the special yarn symbols to know you’re in the right place.
Santa’s Secret Present Search will be on during store opening hours until December 16. Clues will be available online at mackaywaterfront.com.au/what-to-do/whats_on and on the Mackay Waterfront Facebook page from December 6.
Keep an eye out on council’s social media for more Christmas City Heart fun in the coming weeks.
