Â
The free fun-for-all will have jumping castles, a giant slide and an inflatable obstacle course for the kids, plus a 7pm visit by Santas via golf cart.
Â
For the first time, the magic will take place at Carter Oval Youth Sports Precinct near the local splash park, where daytime temperatures are expected to reach 39 degrees.
Â
"Bring your family. Come and enjoy the evening and get with the community," Warren Shire Council's Bec Christian said.
Â
"This year is a lot of local people have stepped up and are doing market and food stalls, which we haven't had previously.
Â
"It will be a wonderful opportunity to support local makers, enjoy a warm summer evening, and celebrate the festive season."

The fireworks are scheduled to start at 9:15pm.
Â
The suitably-named Ms Christian said circus entertainers from Sydney will rove through the crowd in glow-in-the dark costumes.
Â
The event will also feature dances from local groups Dance Experience and Warraan Widji Arts, along with Sydney blues group Stevn Edmonds Band.
Â
The splash park will open from 6pm, followed by a 7pm visit from Santa via golf cart- a Warren tradition.Â
Â
Bar facilities will be on site, where Ms Christian said organisers expect around 500 to 600 people.
Â
There will also be a barbeque and chocolate wheel.
Â
"The event is shaping up to be a memorable evening for the Warren community," Ms Christian said.
Â
"We got the new facility there that we opened end of last year, and just thought why not utilize splash park for the kids?"
Â
Warren Shire opened the new facilities in December 2024, while include a canteen and male and female changerooms.
