Businesses in the Bundaberg, Childers, Gin Gin and Bargara CBDs can help spread the festive cheer this Christmas by decorating their shopfronts for Santa’s CBD Showcase.

Mayor Helen Blackburn said the CBD business shopfront decorating competition was part of Council’s 2024 Christmas program.

“The holiday season is almost upon us so what better time to bring some festive cheer into our CBDs,” Mayor Blackburn said.

“We’re encouraging businesses in the Gin Gin, Childers, Bargara and Bundaberg CBD areas to join in the fun and nominate to take part in this light-hearted competition.

“One winner will be decided in each location and will be recognised at the always popular Pageant of Light event and have photos of their decorations shared by Council.

“Better yet, for half a day I will volunteer my time to work for each winning business, whether it’s behind the counter or sweeping floors, I will be at your disposal!”

To take part in Santa’s CBD Showcase, businesses must nominate by 29 November and have their displays in place ready for judging by 2 December.

Mayor Blackburn said independent judges would inspect the decorations for all nominated businesses in the days leading up to Pageant.

“Be as creative and imaginative as you like, the main key is to spread Christmas joy and encourage people into our CBDs during the festive season.

“What better way to remind residents about the importance of shopping locally and the many opportunities we have to do so in our CBD areas than by putting your holiday spirit on display!”

The nomination process is a quick and easy online form.
