Hobsons Bay Christmas calendar

Christmas events are ramping up across Hobsons Bay as the festive season approaches.

For those with clothing in need of mending or some handyman advice, the ’Pop Up’ Repair Cafe at The Bridge Church in Williamstown is on Sunday 30 November.

If live music of the non-carols variety is what you’re after, Hudsons Road in Spotswood is the place to be when Captain Chaos Quartet with Megan Slattery and Aneta Graham play smooth jazz, lively rhythms and festive favourites from 10am-1pm on Saturday 6, 13 and 20 December.

If Christmas carols are what you’re looking for, Carols on the Green will take place from 6.30pm-8.30pm on Saturday 6 December at Paine Reserve, Newport.

The next day carols come to Altona at Logan Park from 6pm-8pm,

The following weekend, Carols by Candelight is on from 6.30pm-10.30pm on Saturday 6 December at Trafalgar Reserve, Altona Meadows .

On the Sunday, Carols by Candlelight is on from 7pm-10pm at Commonwealth Reserve, Williamstown.

But if it’s the big guy you want to see, don’t worry, Santa is everywhere next month.

On 6 December he’ll be at the Williamstown family Christmas picnic in the park at Commonwealth Reserve, while also stopping by Altona and Newport on the same day.

He’ll also be in Newport on Saturday 13 December and on 20 December he’ll be in Spotswood for pics and face painting.

The Dancing Christmas Trees will be boogying at the Newport Shopping Precinct on 20 December and Spotswood Primary School hosts a slow food extravaganza on 23 December.
