2025 Brochures will be handed out by committee members Gus and Rylan, along with chalk for the customary pavement drawing. Brochures will also be available from the commentary and judging stand, opposite the Post Office. Look for the colouring-in competition inside the brochure.

7.00 pm

The Lobethal Harmony Club will be singing the National Anthem. This is followed by the cutting of the ribbon by next year’s Hall of Fame Inductees, Lynn Rawlings, and Marcia Kleemann who is accepting this honour on behalf of her late husband, John Kleemann.

The procession starts from the top end of the Main Street as they make their way down the Main Street, turning left at Mill Corner and make their way down Jeffrey Street.

This is followed by a street party with lots of food, drinks and entertainment available to cater for everyone.

The committee would like to thank everyone that has helped make this iconic community event, your cherished pageant, the huge success that it is, and hope you all find it thoroughly enjoyable.

Merry Christmas from all of us, to all of you.
