Back and bigger than ever, this year’s Chirstmas Parade, Market and Grottos event takes place on Sunday morning, 30th November.

Fingers crossed that it will be a fine day and that everyone can come along and enjoy the atmosphere and maybe buy an odd christmas present or two at the market, while enjoying the spectacle of the parade.

The market is open from 9.00am to 1.00pm The market will be hosting seventy stalls spanning a wide variety of christmas goodies and treats.

The parade commences from Kay St outside of the Performing Arts Centre at 10.30 am and will make its way along Church St, Hotham St, and Franklin St before turning back into Kay St. There are a host of famous characters and some of your favourite local organisations joining the parade. Santa and Mrs Claus will be joining also in their horse drawn carriage before getting off at the Plaza and opening up Santa’s Grotto. The Grinch is also around to add some mischief!

We also have a Bluey photo booth in the market where you can get a photo with one or both of Bluey and Bingo.

And for the first time Traralgon’s car clubs are doing a bit of show and shine of their beautifully maintained vintage cars.
