Christmas in Cooroy is coming back to bring joy

Christmas in Cooroy is coming back to bring joy to the community on Friday 8 December 2023.

This yearly event promises to entertain with some of the old favourites making a comeback, including Lighting of the Tree and a race of a very different kind.

Of course, the big man himself will be making an appearance, giving the kids (big and small) the opportunity to let Santa know what you would like for Christmas (but you have to promise to be good!). Our photographer will be on hand to capture the special moment.

Food stalls and shopping will be aplenty with many of the stores staying open throughout the evening.

With an incredible line-up of festive things to see and do throughout the evening, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Some to look forward to include:

– The Great Santa Race

Suit up as Santa and battle it out to see who is the speediest Santa in Cooroy!

– The Jingle Joggers Jaunt around Cooroy

Don’t have a Santa suit? Join us for our Jingle Joggers event instead!

– Bike Decorating

Pull out your favourite Christmas decorations and deck out your bike to enter our bike decorating competition!

– Possum Trail

Can you spot all the themed possums in the shop windows? Spot the most and you just might win a prize!

– Christmas Lights Competition

The ultimate Christmas light battle. Battle it out with other residents to see who has the most spectacular Christmas light display!
