SANTA COMES TO THE VILLAGE WITH SOME FUN FRIENDS!

The Mount Eden Village Business Association present:
CHRISTMAS IN THE VILLAGE

Mt Eden Village gets into the Christmas festivities on Saturday 10th December with Christmas in the Village. This Christmas celebration features the ever popular family event - the annual Christmas Tree Decorating Fiesta and a chance to find the ideal gift for family member or loved one at the Christmas Fete.

Local retailers will be taking part in the Christmas Fete with Christmas specials available in stores and a gift wrapping station will be on hand. Throughout the village, there will be music on the street with carol singers and a band playing Christmas favourites. Around and about the village a good fairy and a naughty fairy, will be up to their tricks along with roving street performers, including Yvette Parson's with her Christmas obsessed character Irene McMunn, fresh off her season of Silent Night at Q theatre, a shepherd looking for an angel with some sheep and it wouldn’t be Christmas without Santa – who will have prizes for the kids!

The Tree Decorating Fiesta brings all ages together to get into the spirit of Christmas. Dozens of kid-size Christmas trees are waiting for creative young elves to decorate them in colour and style. Vibrant and colourful materials will be provided for kids and parents to create their very own decorations - let your imagination run wild! The good fairy and naughty fairy will pop by with prizes for the best decorated trees. The Christmas joy keeps giving, as the proceeds from the Tree Decorating Fiesta will be returned back into the local community through supporting Mt Eden community projects.

Christmas cheer comes to Christmas in the Village with trees, crafts, a fete and families gathering for a fun and festive day out.
