The countdown is on for Santa’s arrival, and the Destination and Economy team is inviting local businesses to get involved with CBD activations and destination promotional campaigns this Christmas.

Christmas activities and promotions will soon be announced, including everyone’s favourites:

  • Santa’s Wonderland
  • Carols in the Heart
  • CBD Elf Hunt
  • Plus marketing campaigns to elevate awareness of Lismore’s unique shopping, food and experiences, which will be based on the exciting new Visit Lismore site coming soon!

    We’re also planning small-scale activations to bring vibrancy and visitation to the CBD, and to promote community-led events and activities throughout the festive season. Plans are informed by recent CBD Focus Groups, where we found out what local businesses envision and want for Lismore this Christmas.

    The most popular ideas so far are for live music, kids and youth activities, creative workshop, festive window displays and lighting installations.  Thanks to all taking part in recent CBD Focus Groups – you can see an overview and insights here.

    To get involved, we are calling out for:

  • Your interest and ideas for festive activation around your business
  • Potential collaborations with other Lismore stores to attract visitors and make this Christmas shine brighter than ever
  • Local business offerings for Christmas parties and activities – please include great images we can use!

Please email us at business@lismore.nsw.gov.au by 25 October to help inform our planning, support and promotions. We will be following up with local businesses about your ideas as we develop plans and promotions.

Thank you for helping us bring joy to the community and boost business success.
