With the festive season fast approaching Bundaberg Regional Council is calling for expressions of interest for Christmas events, including float entries for Pageant of Lights.
Arts, Heritage and Asset Management portfolio spokesperson Cr John Learmonth said the applications would see the community join Council to mark the festive season.
“Our annual Christmas program is always a wonderful melding of showstopping Council events and community contributions,” Cr Learmonth said.
“Businesses and groups can apply to host their own event as part of our official program.
“After a terrific turnout last year, the Pageant of Lights is not possible without the many wonderful float applicants that join us to light up the CBD.”
