Christmas comes to life in the CBD

With activities such as jumping castles, ball-pit dunk tank, pedal kart racing, live and local music from great performers and community groups, face painting and even a giant inflatable snow globe there is plenty to keep the family entertained while shoppers get all they need for the festive season.

The activities are funded by Greater Shepparton City Council’s Economic Development Department and Acting Manager Michael Carrafa said “it is great to be able to create a festive atmosphere and fun-filled shopping experience during the busy Christmas period.”

The activities offer a great incentive for shoppers and families to come to the CBD but also to take time to enjoy the surrounds and spend time with family.

“Positive experiences and engagement are a key part of the current retail industry and Council is proud to be able to offer fun and excitement to shoppers and their families whether they are doing their shopping or visiting any of the great cafés and restaurants in the CBD,” Mr Carrafa said.

The activities will run alongside Shepparton Show Me’s Santa Workshop located at 189 Maude Street in the Mall. Shoppers can get a photo with Santa thanks to Shepparton Camera House or even post a letter to the man himself.
