Moorabool lights up for Christmas

Moorabool is set to sparkle this holiday season, with a host of exciting events and festive displays bringing Christmas cheer to communities and businesses.

The Christmas spirit will shine bright in Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Greendale, Gordon and Blackwood, with Christmas displays installed to light up our town centres.

The Main Street of Bacchus Marsh and Ballan have been further enhanced with newly designed flags, banners and bin wraps, giving a festive cheer for shoppers and visitors.

New this year, the council invites residents to take part in “Bring the Merry to Moorabool” by registering their home installations and light displays via an interactive GIS map and online self-registration process.

Residents can share their twinkling displays with the community and make the season even brighter for everyone to enjoy.

In Ballan, Santa will be roaming around the library and Inglis Street, Ballan on Saturday, December 7 from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

Santa’s next stop will be in Bacchus Marsh on Saturday, December 14 at the Lerderberg Library, and Main Street on Saturday, December 14, from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

Moorabool mayor Paul Tatchell said council is thrilled to bring so many wonderful events and displays to Moorabool.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to come together, celebrate and share the holiday joy,” he said.

“I encourage everyone to get involved, whether it’s by visiting the displays, participating in an event or adding their own lights to our interactive map.”
