Families crowded the Memorial Gardens on Monday, December 22, lying across picnic blankets or setting up camping chairs to watch the performances comfortably on the grass.

High energy performances by the Community Church band, supported by the Rushworth & District Concert band and Echuca Federal Band, put everyone in a festive mood.

One of the night's undeniable highlights was Year 9 student Jasmin Grima, whose stunning rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas left the audience spellbound.

Meanwhile, younger attendees stayed busy with a variety of activities, including a popular petting zoo hosted by Billabong Ranch.

To cap off the night, the music gave way to a dazzling fireworks display that lit up the night sky. The Free Press was on the ground to capture every magical moment.
