Thank you for joining the Camberwell Christmas Family Day 2019

Camberwell shopping precinct was alive with festive spirit over the weekend, as hundreds of visitors attended the popular Christmas Family Day.

The Christmas Family Day was held on Saturday, December 14, as a way for local traders to thank the community for their continued support over the year.

Camberwell shopping precinct is home to more than 400 businesses, many of which are family-run and independent retailers that depend on community support to thrive during the year.

A jolly time

Camberwell’s Christmas Family Day has become an annual tradition for local families, where they can check in with Santa Claus and get involved the community’s favourite Where’s Rudolph? competition.

Parents and kids roamed the Camberwell shopping precinct to find Rudolph and the rest of Santa’s reindeer in shop windows.

Families also enjoyed free rides with Santa in his antique fire truck on the day, as he travelled around the festively decorated precinct.

Camberwell was filled with live music, roving entertainers, face painters and balloon modellers to create a truly memorable day for families.

The gingerbread man entertained crowds at the Camberwell Fresh Food Market, shoppers took free photos at the festive photo wall in Market Place, and children decorated Christmas cookies at Camberwell Place shopping centre.

There was also a creative stall where visitors made Christmas decorations and crafts with Jann from Smart Art Activities.

Overall, there were plenty of fun-filled activities available for visitors to Camberwell shopping precinct to enjoy and embrace the festive spirit.

“It was fantastic to see so many families return to our Christmas Family Day this year and enjoy everything the precinct has to offer,” she said.

Ms Daly said the event was put on by the traders as a way to thank the community for their support throughout the year.

“The Christmas Family Day means a great deal to Camberwell traders, and this is their way of giving back to their customers.”

Thank you to everyone who came down to Camberwell shopping precinct over the weekend to join us for our annual Christmas Family Day.

On Saturday, December 15 hundreds of people gathered in the busy shopping precinct to get into the festive spirit.

The Camberwell traders put on the day as a way to say thank you to visitors and shoppers for supporting the precinct throughout the year and to spread some festive cheer.

There was a range of entertainment on offer including rides through the Camberwell precinct on an antique fire truck with Santa himself.

Shoppers had the chance to get their Christmas shopping done while enjoying the festive atmosphere and activities taking place on the day.

Due to popular demand last year, our festive photo wall returned and gave visitors the chance to grab a Christmas-themed prop, strike a pose and get their photo taken against a bright red festive backdrop. See the full album of photos on our Facebook page.

The Camberwell shopping precinct also had a variety of live entertainment on the day and, of course, the chance to be involved in the community’s favourite Where’s Rudolph? competition.
