It is officially Bush Christmas Week in Allora, and the excitement is kicking into full gear.

This Saturday we gather on Herbert Street to celebrate an incredible milestone, thirty years of heart, heritage and holiday magic right here in the Best Little Town on the Downs.

All week our community will be buzzing. Shop windows are trimmed, performers are rehearsing, vendors are packing their goodies, and families are planning their annual trip home to soak up that country Christmas feeling you can only find in Allora. From our first Bush Christmas in 1995 to the spectacular street celebration it has become, this event has always been created by locals for locals, and it shows in every smile, light and carol.

This year is shaping up to be our biggest yet. We are talking markets, rides, entertainment, the tree lighting, Santa, and a whole lot of surprises to honour three decades of tradition. It is the kind of celebration that makes memories for a lifetime.

So get ready, Allora. Polish the bells, press your festive shirts, gather the family and keep your eyes on this page for updates as we count down to Saturday.

Allora Bush Christmas Week has begun. Bring on the magic.
