“Fijian singers from the Action Church, Macksville also sang several Christmas carols.

“The DJ provided music for the young people to dance along with on the stage,” said Grahame,
The young at heart also enjoyed themselves at the Petting Zoo and chasing the large bubbles of soap created by the Bubble Lady.

For many the highlight of the evening was the arrival of Santa with his elves.

“He was photographed many times by parents capturing their children seeking his attention to ensure he had their present list,” said Grahame.

“Many people sampled the treats of vendors and shops that opened for the night.”

The mechanical bull was also popular with attendees who wanted to test their skill at staying on top of it.

The street festival was the culmination of the hard work of the Lions Club of Nambucca Heads, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Nambucca Valley Council and Nambucca RSL Club.

“A great way to celebrate the start of the festive season,” said Grahame.
