Christmas at the Lakes take two

The joy of Christmas will not be stopped with the 18th annual Christmas at the Lakes rescheduled for Saturday, December 21 at Breezewater Reserve in Point Cook.

Originally set for for Saturday December 7, organisers decided to reschedule because of the weather forecast.

Between 4pm-10.30pm, guests will be treated to a series of performers, carols and a fierce display of fireworks, as local residents, businesses and groups gather for one of the area’s biggest events of the year.

Those who want to be taken for a ride – in the good way – will be spoilt for choice with a series of amusement rides on offer for all ages and excitement thresholds.

Among the stars will be Point Cook’s own magnificent and multi-talented Taysha Farrugia, who is riding the momentum of her debut single ‘Fearless’.

The Cross Culture Choir will lead the carols because Christmas would not be Christmas without a choir, so get your singing voices ready.

It will be gastronomy galore with food trucks and stalls treating taste buds to a variety of multicultural cuisines.

The sweet tooths in attendance will certainly not be neglected, with showbags available at the admin marquee.

Anyone who wants to help spread the holiday spirit and join the committee are invited to message Christmas at the Lakes on Facebook.

Entry is a gold coin donation, which helps ensure that Christmas at the Lakes can be enjoyed for years to come.

On-site parking will be available for $5 per car, with cash and card both being accepted.

The Grinch was contacted for comment about his alleged involvement in trying to stop the event. He declined to comment.
