It’s time to get into the Christmas spirit as expressions of interest open for Bundaberg Regional Council’s Christmas events, including float entries for the returning Pageant of Lights.
Arts, Culture and Events portfolio spokesperson Cr John Learmonth said the applications would see the community join Council to mark the festive season.
“Our annual Christmas program is always a wonderful melding of Council events and community contributions,” Cr Learmonth said.
“Businesses and groups can apply to host their own event as part of our official program.
“And of course the return of the much-anticipated Pageant of Lights will not be possible without the many wonderful float applicants that join us to light up the CBD.”
