The Forbes Christmas Carnival is ready to roll and will open to the public at 5pm on Friday 8 December. Forbes Business Chamber is pleased to bring the carnival festivities to the community and hope that lots of people will join in and celebrate.
“There are market stalls, giant games, rock climbing wall, bungee trampolines,
jumping castles, Tea Cup merry-go-round and arts and craft activities. Food is provided by established Forbes businesses and food vans that will be dotted around the site” said Aaron Acheson, President, Forbes Business Chamber.
The Carnival will be located in the central business area of Templar Street, Rankin
and Battye Streets. The Committee ask that vehicles are removed from the site no later than 12 noon for the street closures to take place prior to set up beginning.
“Forbes and the surrounding villages are well and truly due for a fabulous Christmas celebration. There will be so much to see and do such as face painting, free balloon hand outs and even a visit from Mr and Mrs Claus.” said Aaron Acheson
Entertainment and music are on the stage located at the junction of the two streets.
Thank to many people who have offered to assist and a huge thank you to those

Many businesses have been very generous with time and funds and have worked tirelessly to get the Christmas spirt alive and well in Forbes.
