‘Tis the season to be jolly

From a horse and carriage ride with Santa to the iconic Carols by Candlelight event to pop-up craft sessions and the popular New Year’s Eve fireworks display, there is plenty to see and do this festive season.

Bring your family and friends together for a night of song, friendship and fun at the Wodonga Carols by Candlelight on Sunday, December 15 at Willow Park.

If family are visiting these holidays, make sure to give them a tour of our new-look main street and take advantage of the many culinary experiences around to tantalise their tastebuds.

Junction Place, complete with the water play area, is a great place to relax and stay cool on a hot summer’s day.

While at Junction Place, enjoy the festive surrounds with the recently installed Christmas tree and neighbouring decorations.

If you are looking for something to keep yourself and children occupied then mark your diary for Christmas craft activity at Wodonga Plaza on December 14 from 11am to 2pm.

Get into the spirt of Christmas with our Festive Fun on High event that involves horse and carriage rides along High St with the man in the red suit himself and the opportunity to take photos with Santa on your return.

Local musician Nathan Vaccaro will be singing carols and children's Christmas tunes and there will be festive facepainting by Santa's helpers.

Tickets are $10 per group (up to four people) and are available via The Cube Wodonga box office in person, or online here. Get in quick to secure your spot as spaces are limited. No ticket sales on the day.
