Preparations are well underway for the biggest event in
the Gerringong-Gerroa calendar - the Gerringong Christ-
mas Street Parade & Market.
As the district’s only Christmas street parade, the Rotary
Club of Gerringong Sunrise feels an obligation to make
each year bigger and better than ever.
This year there will be not one but three pipe bands
joining the parade of colourful floats, comic characters
and vintage cars.
The Surf Club, sporting clubs, children’s sport groups,
dance groups, the Rural Fire Service, the Men’s Shed, Red
Cross and many others will all be there. True community
spirit will be shown when the victorious Gerringong Lions
RLFC use their muscles to assist immobile residents of
Mayflower Village to participate in the parade.
Local businesses become involved with parade floats and
the Sebel Harbourside Kiama are sponsoring a prize for
the best shop window display. Natural Necessity Surf
Shop will be holding its traditional fashion parade of the
latest summer wear.
Of course the hero of the parade for the children will be
Santa and his sleigh!
The market in and around the Town Hall adds to the
atmosphere. The organisers of the day, the Rotary Club of
Gerringong Sunrise, urge you to come along, and thank
Gareth Ward and Kiama Council for their ongoing support
of this great community event.
