Mayor Rob Amos said council was excited to announce several large installations would be arriving within the coming week.
“Our annual Christmas decorations are already in place, but we have a few special decorations that will light up three key locations within the shire,” Cr Amos said.
“We hope these exceptional lighting installations will inspire Christmas cheer and provide some great photo opportunities.”
Echuca’s Hopwood Gardens will become a hive of activity, with a maze of Christmas installations sprawling throughout the gardens. The centrepiece will be a 4.5m lit-up Santa teddy bear.
Several sizeable lit-up stars and reindeer, along with baubles and other fairy lighting, will feature in the gardens. At the council offices, Christmas-coloured lighting will brighten the corner of Hare and Heygarth streets.
In Rochester, the Rotunda Park will play host to an enormous ‘walk through’ light-up bauble, which was kindly donated by Brady Electrical.
While in Kyabram, Memorial Gardens will sparkle in the evenings against the white light of a tremendous snowflake.
Cr Amos said there were a number of Christmas trails for community members to visit.
“Tongala’s annual Hay Bale Trail features some fantastic Christmas characters for the kids to enjoy, while Gunbower’s 12 Days of Christmas Trail will take you around the best spots in town,” he said.
“Kyabram will continue with their tradition of Santa’s Cave in Allan St and the festive yarn bombing, while Colbinabbin’s Christmas drums will also make a comeback.”
Meanwhile, the young and the young at heart will love Rushworth’s Christmas selfie stations.
