Lithgow is set to become the home of Christmas festivities in 2024 with the Lithgow Christmas Concert announced for 7 December at Tony Luchetti Sports Ground.
The inaugural Lithgow Christmas Concert will feature live performances from headline artists Paulini, Hugh Sheridan and Chris Sebastian. The band of Guy Sebastian will provide backing for the artists, and local talent will prominently feature during the two-hour festive event.
The Lithgow Christmas Concert will feature a selection of 'sing and dance along' classic songs and your favourite Christmas carols, fireworks sponsored by Energy Australia, and something extra special for the children – 'Lamb-plona' our local version of the Spanish 'running of the Bulls', retitled 'running of the wools'.
Lithgow Mayor Cassandra Coleman said "The community asked, and we have listened. The Lithgow Christmas Concert is a welcome addition to the local events calendar and gives the community an opportunity to get together and relax to great music and performers on stage".
Community feedback has highlighted a desire for a festive event to bring families and friends together in a feel-good format close to Christmas.
Entry is free and activities begin at 6pm and conclude with fireworks at 9pm on Saturday 7 December 2024.
