Christmas Trails coming to Chinatown on Friday 4 December
• Annual Chinatown Christmas trails on Friday 4 December
• Activities and entertainment for the whole family
• Christmas Carols to be held on Sunday 13 December
Plans for Chinatown’s annual Christmas celebrations are well underway thanks to the generous support of the Chinatown Revitalisation Project, Inpex operated Ichthys LNG and Horizon Power.
Celebrations will kick off at 4pm on Friday 4 December with the Christmas Trails event taking place on Dampier Terrace, Johnny Chi Lane and Carnarvon Street South.
Broome Shire President Harold Tracey said he was looking forward to all the fun activities and entertainment for the whole family.
“This is a great chance to come together as a community, have some fun, support local business and celebrate our strength in what has been an extraordinary year.
“Supporting our community and buying local is so important this year. I really encourage everyone to attend this event and support our traders in any way they can, big or small, it all helps,” Cr Tracey said.
Kids can be entertained by Santa and his elves, face painting, craft activities and water play while the adults enjoy music from local performers, food and drinks and do some Christmas shopping.
There will also be a free screening of ‘Jingle All the Way’ at Sun Pictures starting at 7pm. A full event program will be released closer to the date.
A section of Carnarvon Street from The Roey car park to Short Street will be closed from 2pm to 7pm to facilitate set up and the event itself. Parking will be available at Paspaley Plaza (upper and lower decks), Sam Su Lane, the Broome Visitor Centre and Male Oval.
The Shire of Broome is also working alongside the Combined Churches to bring the annual Christmas Carols event to Male Oval on Sunday 13 December from 6.30pm with more details on this to be released soon.
