Spread the festive cheer, Christmas on the Coast is nearly here

The festive season is around the corner, and Redland City Council is gearing up for Christmas on the Coast 2022, to be held from 14–18 December at Raby Bay Harbour Park in Cleveland.

Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said Council was excited to host the jam-packed event that would see an area of Redlands Coast turn into a magical Christmas wonderland.

“Now in its third year, Christmas on the Coast is loved by the Redlands Coast community and visitors alike and is the perfect place to celebrate the festive season over five spectacular days,” Cr Williams said.

“This year, eventgoers can expect to be entertained with a full program of events and activities every night from 4.30pm to 9pm, including live entertainment by some of our finest local talent, children’s rides and family activities, roving performers, free photos with Santa, and the lighting of the city’s Christmas tree.

“Attendees will also be treated to free face painting, a rock climbing wall, a range of food trucks, and other special surprises, and each night will end with the screening of a Christmas movie in the park.

“As Christmas on the Coast is a ticketed event; and with each evening restricted to 2,500 people, bookings are essential.

“Tickets are $5 per person – children aged 12 and under can enter for free – and will go on sale 14 November on Council’s website, so be sure to keep an eye out.”

Each ticket includes free train travel to and from the event, with ticket proceeds supporting local causes such as domestic and family violence support services.

Cr Williams said Council was currently seeking event sponsors, artists, stallholders, and food vendors to support Christmas on the Coast 2022.

“As a valued sponsor, you will have the opportunity to be associated with one of Redlands Coast’s signature Christmas events, receiving significant and prominent brand exposure through advertising, hospitality, and general benefits,” she said.

“Expressions of interest are also open for local Redlands Coast and Brisbane-based performing artists, stallholders and food vendors, so if you or someone you know is interested in being a part of this year’s Christmas on the Coast, please get in touch with Council.”
