Festivities are underway at Council’s Christmas on the Coast festival at Raby Bay Harbour Park.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said yesterday’s successful opening night was the first of five evenings of family fun and entertainment, from 4.30 to 8.30pm daily until 20 December.
“Christmas is being celebrated on the Redlands Coast waterfront this year in a five-day ticketed COVID-safe festival,” Cr Williams said.

“On opening night, crowds enjoyed live stage entertainment headlined by Alexa Curtis, children’s rides and family activities, and boutique markets with food vendors.
“The city’s Christmas tree was lit and there was an outdoor screening of PG rated movie A Dennis the Menace Christmas.
“We’ll be lighting the Christmas tree and showing a different Christmas movie each night so no one misses out on the magic.
“In addition to the festival, we’re offering the full Christmas experience with ice-skating on a synthetic rink from 10.30am to 8.30pm throughout the festival period.
“Some very excited kids, big and small, have already tested out the rink and reported that it was as fun as it looks!
“The rink is located outside of the festival parameters to allow for separate access to the skating sessions, which can be purchased online.
“It’s time to lighten up after a long and serious year, so I encourage everyone to come down to Raby Bay Harbour Park to bring in the silly season.”
Free kids activities include inflatable jumping castles, Santa photos, roving entertainment, carousel rides and giant games.
Proceeds from event tickets will go towards helping some of the most vulnerable people in our community including local charities such as domestic and family violence support services.
