Southern Grampians Shire Council is excited to announce the return of Santa’s Wonderland, bringing festive cheer back to The Hub in Hamilton for another year of Christmas magic.
From Wednesday 4 December, Santa will transform Shop 5 at The Hub into his festive wonderland, welcoming children and families to share their wish lists, enjoy a chat with the jolly man in red, and soak up the wonder of the season.
Southern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Dennis Heslin said Santa’s Wonderland has become a much-loved highlight of the local Christmas calendar, and Council is excited to help bring this joy to the community.
“Families are invited to take their own free photo with Santa, capturing a special moment to remember for years to come,” said Cr Heslin.
“Santa will also be making a very special appearance at the St Mary’s Christmas Parade on Friday 5 December, before heading to the Hamilton PAC for an additional meet-and-greet session among the festive market stalls.
