Mt Penang Gardens is hosting its third Christmas lights display from December 9-13. This year the event is supported by 107.7 2GO FM, A Dash of Christmas, Ronald McDonald Family Room, Gosford Musical Society, Central Coast iMag and Central Coast Newspapers.
Ms Naomi Rogers, Property and Events Manager for the Central Coast Regional Development Corporation, said the Gardens at Mt Penang will once again be getting into the holiday spirit. The themed interactive lights will run nightly from 6-9:30pm, and everyone is invited to come along and view the lights with family and friends. “Families are encouraged to come down early to enjoy a picnic or grab a sausage sandwich in support of the Ronald McDonald Family Room. Visitors will also get to enjoy an outdoor movie ‘Christmas With The Kranks,’ nightly from 8pm. “It’s all very exciting,” Ms Rogers said.
“This is such a special time of year and what a better way for people to spend the evenings leading to Christmas. “Proceeds from entry fees will go towards the maintenance of the Mt Penang Gardens, which are free entry throughout the year,” she added. Adding to the festive mood, the nightly celebration of lights includes an array of entertainment and experiences for all ages. Visitors can enjoy the food stalls, jumping castle, Christmas music and carols by the Gosford Musical Society, roving entertainment, the glow stick/novelty stall and more. Join the Scavenger Hunt and other fun children’s activities to support the Ronald McDonald Family Room inside Gosford Hospital. Take photos with Santa, Elsa from Frozen and other interesting characters. A family pass for the event is $25 (two adults and up to three children under 16 years) with additional adult passes costing $10 and additional children’s passes costing $5. Children under three get in free. The gardens have ample on site free parking for visitors throughout the holiday period.
