McDowall Street, Roma will come alive with the spirit of Christmas on Thursday, 1 December as Council kicks off the festive season with the Maranoa Christmas Street Party.  

Now an iconic event on the local calendar, festivities will take place from 5.00pm until 8.30pm with lots of food, fun and festive entertainment on offer, including the official lighting of the Christmas Tree lights.  

As you wander through the main street of Roma, Mayor Tyson Golder said there will be something for everyone at this year’s Council Christmas Street Party.  

“With bouncing elves and marching notes, local performances and displays, it will be a night not to be missed,”

“For adults, events like this take us back to enjoyable times as a child when the whole community got together.  With the far-reaching impacts of COVID the street party provides a welcome and needed opportunity to support each other and enjoy the company of others.” 

 “Keep your eye out for Santa also, as he will make his way from the North Pole to Roma offering free Santa photos.”  Cr Golder said. 

Stores in the Roma CBD will remain open plus a great variety of market stalls will be on offer to help with all your gift shopping needs.  

For those residents who may not have the ability to provide a meal for themselves or their family, they are invited to register for a free meal at this year’s Christmas Street Party. Meals are available for children (ages 3-10) and youth/adults (ages 11+).
