The threat of rain and storms has resulted in Toowoomba CBD’s biggest Christmas celebration being postponed until Thursday 7 December.

Toowoomba Regional Council’s Tourism and Events chair, Councillor Geoff McDonald believes it is best to reschedule the festivities to a night with clearer weather forecast to ensure families can enjoy the night.

“We don’t want it to rain on anyone’s parade, especially Santa’s and have decided to postpone our Toowoomba CBD Christmas celebration to Thursday 7 December.

“Based on the current weather forecast, we have worked with local businesses and they support the new date to coincide with friendlier weather conditions,” Cr McDonald said.

The free family activities will kick off from 5pm on Thursday 7 December across the city at key locations before Santa and his sleigh light up City Hall, Bell St Mall and the Garden City’s largest Christmas tree.
