Banjo Paterson Lake Reserve was aglow on Sunday 3 December as Lynbrook Christmas Festival and Market was held to celebrate the holiday season.

Organised by the Lynbrook Residents Association (LRA), the event featured vocal performances of classic Christmas songs, circus magic shows, band shows, market stalls, family activities, and food trucks.

LRA president Scott Watson expressed his delight at seeing the Lynbrook community coming together for the festive extravaganza.

He recalled one of the highlights of the day was the presence of Santa Claus, who shared his joy at witnessing the excitement on the faces of the children.

Mr Watson commended the dedication of the LRA committee members and acknowledged the crucial role played by local volunteers who generously donated their time to serve as event staff.

“These events only happen due to the commitment of the committee members of the LRA who work tirelessly to pull this together on a very small budget, but also to the locals who volunteer their time as event staff,” he said.

He also thanked Evolution Music and Vocal Performance School who provide sound and entertainment.
