Tooradin’s Christmas on the Foreshore will be back this December, bigger and better than ever.
The annual event, in its 23rd year, draws thousands of people to the coastal village to celebrate the holidays with a brilliant display of fireworks across the inlet.
Live entertainment, children’s activities and food trucks will also be featured this year, slated for Friday 16 December.
Foreshore committee secretary Ross Wilkie said he was thrilled the event was returning after two years off due to Covid-19 restrictions.
“I think it’s important to give people the chance to celebrate before Christmas and it brings people together, not just from Tooradin but from all over,” he said.
About 3000 people usually attend the event, which isn’t a traditional carolling night.
“It started small but it just grew and grew because of the fireworks and because people wanted to come along and have a good time before Christmas,” Mr Wilkie said.
“It’s a night with a Christmas flavour.”
The event has been alcohol-free since 2017.
Major sponsors include the City of Casey, Bendigo Bank, O’Brien Real Estate Cranbourne, United Tooradin, Tooradin Pharmacy, Tooradin Sports Club, Gendore Tractors and Machinery, Tooradin Post Office, Schreurs and Sons, Tides Bar and Grill, P and P Products Tooradin, and Tooradin Bakery.
