This festive season will be filled to the brim with things to do, see and enjoy across the Parkes Shire. Christmas events will kick off on Friday, 2nd December with the Parkes Christmas Parade, followed by Sparkle in the Park UpMarkets and outdoor movie, The Santa Clause, in Cooke Park. As the sun sets, the Parkes CBD will be ignited with illuminations and projections across buildings and streetscapes. On the same day, Peak Hill will come alive for the Meet You Up The Street Festival with street stalls, music, shopping and family fun.

The Parkes Shire will be Jingle Bell Rockin’ for this year’s Carols in the Park. Everyone is invited to sing along in Parkes on Sunday, 11th December and in Peak Hill on Sunday, 18th December. For more details, check out our events page on www.parkes.nsw.gov.au. Residents and visitors are encouraged to Shop Parkes this Christmas to stand a chance to win a fabulous trip to Las Vegas valued at $4,000! Shoppers can enter by simply making a purchase and filling out an entry form at any participating business.

Keep an eye out for the Shop Parkes Catalogue in your mailbox or download it online at visitparkes.com.au. Follow Shop Parkes on Facebook for lots of special offers and gift ideas this Christmas. Local businesses are encouraged to
deck out their shop fronts from 2nd to 24th December. The most creative CBD Christmas window display will be awarded a marketing package valued at $500 for the 2017 Christmas Shopping campaign.
