Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM has congratulated the 'shining stars' of the 2021 Blacktown City Christmas Lights Competition.
Households right across the City got into the festive spirit and lit up their properties for the popular competition.

First Place Overall City Winner was awarded to Jessica Colley for her outstanding display at 7 Garbett Place, Doonside. Jessica was also crowned the winner for Ward 3.
Mayor Bleasdale commended Jessica and all winners for their wonderful entries, "This year we had an incredible 98 entries that have all brought some festive cheer to our streets".
"Our judges had a difficult task selecting the winners from such an amazing pool of finalists.
"After the extremely difficult year we've had in Blacktown City, with COVID-19 restrictions keeping us away from our loved ones and the things we enjoy, this competition has brought some much-needed joy into our lives.
"It brings me great pleasure to see the time and effort households put into their entries year after year.
