The funding will allow the committee to deliver key upgrades, including enhanced sound, improved parade lighting and see the return of the snow machines all of which were requested by festival-goers.
This project will respond directly to feedback received from the Christmas Festivals participant survey after the 2024 event. The investment will make the festival bigger, brighter, more engaging and more inclusive.
