Christmas on John Street
Deck the halls, hang the stockings and get ready to rock around the Christmas tree – Christmas on John Street is back in 2023, transforming Singleton's Town Centre on Friday 8 December from 5.30 - 9.30pm.
A massive evening of music, food and fireworks is on everyone’s list, and Santa will be checking it twice with free professional photos at the Singleton Rotary’s North Pole grotto.
John Street will become Santa Claus Lane, overrun with roving entertainers, performances from Singleton Town Band, Singleton Theatrical Society and other musical acts, food trucks, market stalls and laneway bar, plus kid's activities like jumping castles, face painting, and workshops.
Retailers will also be open for late night shopping so you can check off all the items on your Christmas list. The evening will finish off with a bang with a fireworks display.
