Poincianas are in bloom, beetles flicker about in their gold armour, and there’s a heady scent of frangipani in the air. December by the bay is cool and calm, and you don’t need to travel far to gather all the trimmings for a memorable Christmas.
When the sun sets in the height of summer, locals and visitors flock to the waterfront, where the breeze cuts through the heat. What better place to stage an evening of Christmas cheer?
Manly’s George Clayton Park will host a spectacular Christmas concert on December 17. A much-loved end-of-year event, Bayside Carols features a cheery line-up of local entertainers of all ages who will perform your favourite Christmas melodies.
For parties, lunches and dinners, there’s a delectable smorgasbord of old favourites and new dining options on the bayside, and stores packed with unique gifts and gourmet goodies. One of the greatest gifts you can give your community is to shop locally, so let’s make this Christmas a bumper year for our local economy!
Christmas traditions like Bayside Carols bring our community together, and we all play a part in keeping them alive. This December, check on your neighbours, call old friends, smile, and show kindness wherever you go. From everyone at The Community Leader, Merry Christmas!
