Christmas is coming to Hume!
There’s plenty of activities planned across the municipality, so the Star Weekly has made a guide to help you make the most of the festive season.
Mayor Carly Moore encouraged the community to take part.
“Christmas in Hume is all about coming together as a community, and I am thrilled to be sharing the festive spirit with locals across our city as mayor once again,” she said.
“We are so lucky in this country to get to experience the joy of Christmas at a time when the weather is heating up, and there is so much to do in every corner of Hume city! Whether you prefer indoor or outdoor, we have craft making events at our libraries and community centres, Bush Storytimes, plenty of decorations, and our two Carols by Candlelight events.”
