With Christmas fast approaching, community groups and locals are organising events to help spread festive cheer.
The Williamstown Chamber of Commerce is bringing back its Christmas in Williamstown event on Friday, December 8.
Events chair Megan Walls, said this year’s event is going to have the same charm as previous years with new fun.
“We are going to have Santa at his Grotto in Commonwealth Reserve where he will be riding around in a vintage fire truck at different times throughout the day,” she said.
“Outside different businesses, tables will be set up for face painting and other arts and crafts.”
To keep the crowds entertained, live entertainment, music and special promotions from local traders will be scattered throughout the duration of the event.
Christmas cards, book signing, face painting and sip and shop will be available on Douglas Parade.
Glitter tattoos, kids and dogs photo fundraiser, arts and crafts, wine tasting and a chocolate fountain will be among the fun on Ferguson Street.
“There will be mini hubs set up around as well as spots for people to do their shopping and then have the opportunity to get them wrapped on the day,” Ms Walls said.
“We are joining the three main streets together by having these mini hubs set up and we all have more entertainment this year than ever before.”
Ms Walls said they are expecting upwards of 1000 visitors to attend, which she said is great for local business.
