Caloundra has the festive spirit



Caloundra’s festive season is lighting up with some exciting events that will capture the spirit of Christmas for all ages.

Locals and visitors are invited to immerse themselves in holiday cheer at Carols in the Caloundra CBD and Christmas Tree Lane.

These celebrations will bring live entertainment, family-friendly fun and much more to the heart of Caloundra.

Division Two Councillor Terry Landsberg said there would be something for everyone to enjoy.

“We’re excited to bring these incredible events to the heart of Caloundra,” Councillor Landsberg said.

“It’s a wonderful way to spend time with friends and family while supporting our amazing local businesses.

“Whether you’re enjoying the street party, singing carols or admiring the display of festivities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in Caloundra this festive season.”

Christmas Tree Lane – 19 November to 3 January

Experience a dazzling display of holiday lights and decorations by strolling through Christmas Tree Lane at Caloundra’s iconic Strand Arcade.

The Strand Arcade will shine until January 3 as local businesses and artists collaborate to create an arcade adorned with beautifully decorated trees.

From a book shop-themed tree to a tree made from scaffolding (by Bianco unit development team), Christmas trees are individually decorated, reflecting the unique style and spirit of local Caloundra businesses.

And if you look closely, many trees have discounts and giveaways on offer making the stroll through Christmas Tree Lane a worthy trip.

Carols in the Caloundra CBD – 14 December

Bulcock Street will be filled with the sound of Christmas carols performed by talented local musicians and choirs from 9am to midday on Saturday, 14 December.

Bring the whole family for a free family event that’s packed with activities including meeting Santa and enjoying free face painting.

Local retailers will be taking their trade out-of-store, so you can browse and buy unique gifts right on the street. It’s the perfect way to support local businesses and find something special for everyone on your list.
