CHRISTMAS celebrations are coming to Brelsford Park over two huge nights.
The party will kick-off on Friday, 19 December, with an open-air screening of The Grinch (2018).
Centred on the festive village of Whoville, the family-friendly classic will play on an outdoor screen from 6:30pm.
The main event, the Coffs Coast Carols, runs from 6.30-9pm the following evening, featuring special guest and former The Voice finalist Mick Harrington.
He will share the mic with City of Coffs Harbour Councillor Julie Sechi as Masters of Ceremonies.
“Over two big nights this year, it’s an event not to be missed,” Mayor Nikki Williams said.
“The carols brings out the very best in all that we love about being part of the Coffs community.“
The entertainment line-up includes Imogen Daymond, Glen Price, Adelaide Robinson, Coco Fabry, Heather Rose, JRDS Dancers, James Freeman and Eva Kent, plus the Coffs Carols Band featuring Louise Richards.
“The big bearded fella in red will sleigh by as always as it just wouldn’t be a community carols night without Santa,” Planning and Communities Acting Director Ian Fitzgibbon said.
“We’ve got some special trimmings for this year’s event including interactive bubbles courtesy of HooRai Balloons, face painting and Christmas-themed games delivered by the Smiley Squad.”
A fresh addition this year will be the chance to pose for a professional photographer for a family capture delivered in time for Christmas.
“Be sure to pack a picnic rug for comfort but no alcohol please, as this is a family-friendly event,” Mayor Williams said.
Food trucks will also be onsite in force: Leonella Pasta, Lukey’s Loaded Potatoes, Sweet Sunny Blends, Tasty Popcorn, Spiral Sista, Moreish Pizza and The Mexican Queen.
Saturday will climax with a pyrotechnics sky show at 8.45pm.
