The festive season has officially begun in Forbes, with Christmas lights now illuminating the CBD. This year, Lachlan Street comes alive with a vibrant canopy of twinkling lights and a festive installation on the Templar Street roundabout. Victoria Park shines with four large-scale displays, including a brand-new three-metre star. And over at Town Hall, a refreshed Christmas tree design now graces the iconic balcony.
Mayor Phyllis Miller OAM said “There’s nothing quite like seeing the town centre come alive with Christmas spirit. The lights bring a wonderful sense of excitement to Forbes, and they’re a reminder of the magic this time of year brings,” Mayor Miller said.
“The lights create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for family outings, seasonal celebrations and late-night shopping.”
The decorations complement the range of festive activities scheduled throughout December, including the Rotary Ipomoea Christmas Tree Festival, Forbes Christmas Festival, Carols by Candlelight, as well as the Town Hall Christmas Projection.
Forbes Shire Council wishes everyone a joyful and safe Christmas season and invites the community to enjoy the festive atmosphere throughout December.
