Bodega on High and council invite locals to Christmas festival

After collaborating with Casey Council to fund the magical Christmas decorations on High Street Berwick, Bodega on High will also be bringing a one of a kind event to Berwick’s main street.

The cherished café has yet again worked with the council to spark the holiday cheer in Berwick and they’re now inviting Casey locals to come and enjoy the range of entertainment they have planned throughout the afternoon in a special holiday festival.

From roving performers, Christmas carols, face painting and a range of local traders along the main street to go and shop in for those last minute Christmas gifts.

According to Bodega on a social media post, Santa will also be making a pit stop ahead of his busy schedule.

Councillor Scott Dowling of the Akoonah Ward told Star News that the council and Bodega both discussed how to bring the community together in a day of celebration for everyone to enjoy.

“There were some challenges we needed to work through as this type of event hasn’t been done before in the middle of Berwick,” said Cr Dowling.

“After several meetings with departments and other state government entities, we found a solution.

“It’s a great example of a local trader and council working together to bring something to the community.”

The festival will take place on 20 December from 11am to 4pm on High Street Berwick.
