The lighting of the Kibble Park Christmas tree is a yearly tradition that signals the commencement of Central Coast Council’s program of Christmas themed events. “Hundreds turned up to see the magical moment when the Christmas tree’s twinkling lights were switched on for the first time, lighting up Kibble Park and kicking off this year’s festive season,” said Central Coast Council Unit Manager, Community Partnerships, Glenn Cannard.
