Christmas Activations – wrap-up, thanks and feedback

Leading up to Christmas, Council organised numerous events and promotions to encourage locals and tourists to do their Christmas shopping in the CBD. An estimated 3800 people enjoyed Carols in the Heart and 1500 visited Santa’s Wonderland to meet Santa in the CBD, with more than 600 youngsters claiming prizes in the popular cheeky Elf Hunt.

Council also presented Lismore Delights programs on Saturdays 16 and 23 December, bringing hundreds of people together to enjoy fabulous local music, family and festive fun around the Block.

Lismore CBD and Goonellabah sparkled with new tree lighting, and the month of festive activities along with our amazing business community were promoted and advertised extensively.

We’d like to thank local businesses, the community and visitors for their wonderful participation, ideas and efforts to Back Lismore this Christmas. We hope you've enjoyed these activities and found them beneficial for visitation, connection and trade.

Lismore Delights has been designed to benefit CBD activation and trade. Since its launch following the 2022 extreme weather event, this program has adapted to meet business needs and opportunities. Your input is invaluable for our evaluation and planning for future CBD activation and promotions, and we thank you in advance. Please share your Lismore Delights feedback in this quick survey. We look forward to sharing insights and next steps in 2024.
