The sleigh bells will be jingling and ring tingle tingling when the Lakeland community comes together to celebrate the festive season with its annual Christmas fair on 7 December.
The fair is a favourite with Lakeland residents of all sizes and there promises to be something for everyone again in 2024 with the opportunity for a Christmas photo in front of the town tree, market stalls, local performers, craft activities for the kids, as well as food and drinks.
The event will be hosted by the Lakeland Progress Association and a spokesperson said it provided a relaxed way for the community to get together and prepare for Santa Claus’ visit to Cape York.
“The Lakeland Christmas fair is the sole Christmas event held in Lakeland, and therefore a great opportunity for everyone to come together and relax,” the spokesperson said.
“The afternoon and evening are topped off to the chime of Christmas carols under ‘candle lights’ accompanied by the sounds of the ukelele.”
The action will get under way with the markets from 3pm on the grassed area in front of the Lakeland coffee shop, with local entertainment from 4:30pm and Christmas carols from 6:30pm.
Stallholders hoping to ply their wares at the event are asked to call 0417 625 121 or email [email protected] to register for their free site.
