It’s a perfect opportunity for people to start getting into the Christmas spirit and bring the community together to celebrate.
This year, we have a new venue for the event right outside the recently completed AMP building in a dedicated community event space. This will be the first of many events for the new space and I look forward to joining our residents on what is always a fantastic night.”
