Park, Shop and Wrap this Christmas at Shepparton’s Central Business District.
Greater Shepparton City Council along with the business traders are preparing for the holiday season by launching Christmas in the Maude Street Mall this Saturday 30 November.

“We’re inviting all residents and visitors to the CBD these holidays to shop for all their Christmas needs,” Cr Abdullah said.
“With hundreds of retailers in Shepparton you’ll be able to find everything you need while enjoying the many free and affordable holiday themed activities.”

The Carousel is free to ride on and will be available in the Maude St Mall until Friday 4 January and it will be operating from 10am to 5pm daily.
“Once you’ve completed your Christmas shopping take advantage of the gift wrapping services in the Maude St Mall, for only a gold coin donation to support community groups, “ Cr Abdullah said.
