Lighting of Gunnedah Shire Christmas tree
The Gunnedah Shire community is invited to attend the 2024 Lighting of the Christmas tree at 7.30pm on 29 November.
Gunnedah Shires' community Christmas tree stands in Brock’s Court in Chandos Street each year as a symbol of the festive season, and each year, the turning on of the lights on the tree signifies Christmas is nearly here.
“We are very happy to be able to present this small but special event to our community in partnership with the Gunnedah Conservatorium, who provide the seasonal music and singing,” Gunnedah Shire Council Mayor Colleen Fuller said.
“It’s a lovely opportunity for families to come along, see the tree light up and join in a carol or two.”
The event is being held on the same night as the Christmas Fair to allow people to go from one event to the other and make the most of the festive season activities.
