Bring a chair and bundle a picnic rug to binge the fireworks at Warren's annual Christmas party tonight, Friday 5 November.

 

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.

 

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.


 

"Bring your family. Come and enjoy the evening and get with the community," Warren Shire Council's Bec Christian said.

 

"This year is a lot of local people have stepped up and are doing market and food stalls, which we haven't had previously.

 

"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.

 

The suitably-named Ms Christian said circus entertainers from Sydney will rove through the crowd in glow-in-the dark costumes.

 

The event will also feature dances from local groups Dance Experience and Warraan Widji Arts, along with Sydney blues group Stevn Edmonds Band.

 


The splash park will open from 6pm, followed by a 7pm visit from Santa via golf cart- a Warren tradition. 

 

Bar facilities will be on site, where Ms Christian said organisers expect around 500 to 600 people.

 

There will also be a barbeque and chocolate wheel.

 

"The event is shaping up to be a memorable evening for the Warren community," Ms Christian said.

 

"We got the new facility there that we opened end of last year, and just thought why not utilize splash park for the kids?"

 

Warren Shire opened the new facilities in December 2024, while include a canteen and male and female changerooms.
