Sat 03 Dec 2016

Every year since 2013 the community of Ellenbrook and surrounds has got together to celebrate Christmas with a series of events, beginning with an open day and pageant.

This year is significant in that the event is entirely run by local community volunteers from the newly established 'Ellenbrook Community Collective', who operate under the motto 'For the Community, by the Community'.



This means that the monies raised within the event can be invested in this event and other events for the local community in coming months. It also enables the event to utilise local stallholders, local artists and assist in activating local business and eateries within the event precinct on the day.

Christmas can be an expensive season for people across our communities... events that focus on providing a very low cost and enjoyable day out for families at this time of year can only add to building positive social investment!



The Ellenbrook Christmas Festival coyly called 'Christmas in Elfenbrook' includes market stalls, community group stalls (that will inform, promote and educate) rides, entertainment, the majority being local community groups and local artists such as The Fisher Boys who did so well in X-Factor last year, as well as displays, cooking demonstrations, cultural presentations and more.



These will be on-going from noon although the Christmas Pageant proper will begin at 4pm and will include approximately forty different participant groups walking the procession route through town.

Entry is free.
