Santa’s Boulevard magic begins

More than 400 cars streamed through the Valley Lake precinct last night to catch a glimpse of NF McDonnell and Sons Santa’s Boulevard on opening night. The twinkling Christmas display is on show each evening until Monday 29 November 2021 and is delighting people of all ages as we herald in the festive season.

Santa’s Boulevard includes 14 revamped Christmas floats, lights, decorations and Christmas music in the Valley Lake precinct over five nights from Thursday 25 to Monday 29 November between 7:00pm and 10:00pm.

You’ll see some of your favourite floats including Christmas in Toy Town, Pirates ‘R’ Us, Bill the Steam Shovel, Hansel & Gretel, The Christmas Tree, T’was the night before Christmas, Humpty Dumpty, and of course the Christmas Stocking and Santa.

“The feedback after the first night has been wonderful, people really enjoyed driving through to see all the floats lit up and really got into the magical Christmas spirit,” City of Mount Gambier Events Team Leader Xarnia Keding said.

“People told us they thought it was absolutely beautiful and one visitor was even moved to tears.”
