The countdown is on for the inaugural CASPA Lismore Christmas Carnival, a free, family-friendly event set to light up the community with festive cheer next Saturday, 30th November 2024, at the Lismore Turf Club.

The event is more than just a day of fun. It’s a celebration of the strength, resilience, and generosity of the Lismore community.

Hosted by CASPA, a leading child welfare organisation, the Christmas Carnival promises to deliver an unforgettable day for families and friends of all ages. Sponsors whose generosity has brought this event to life include Summerland Bank, Lean Finance, Newton Denny Chapelle and Commonwealth Bank.

From 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm, the Lismore Turf Club will transform into a hub of excitement, featuring:

• Festive markets showcasing local makers and businesses, perfect for ticking off Christmas shopping while supporting the local economy.
• Live entertainment with music, dance, and performances by talented local artists.
• Rides and activities for children and families to enjoy.
• Delicious food trucks serving a variety of tasty treats.
• Carnival games, festive contests, and an enticing raffle with fantastic prizes up for grabs.
• A special visit from Santa, arriving on a Lismore RFS fire truck to spread joy to young and old alike.

At the heart of the event will be the CASPA Giving Tree, where attendees can donate gifts to bring joy and hope to young people in CASPA’s care. Gifts left under the Giving Tree will go directly to children and young people who may be spending the festive season separated from their biological families.
