The glittering garden will be lit with thousands of twinkling fairy lights, lined with magnificent Christmas installations and adorned with a dazzling nativity scene for another Illuminate The Hills event.
Mayor of The Hills Shire, Dr Michelle Byrne said the event was a beloved Hills Christmas tradition.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing the rose garden in all its splendour this holiday season,” Mayor Byrne said.
“Join me on opening night to watch the lights get switched on and enjoy free coffee, ice cream and sausage sizzle.
“There will also be traditional Christmas carols and a visit from Santa and Mrs Claus. It’s the perfect way to kickstart the festive season with family and friends.”
The lights will be switched on from 7:30 pm on Thursday, 28 November and will light up the rose garden each night until Thursday, 2 January 2025.
