Organised by the Parkhurst Residents' Association (PRABOA) and the Craighall Residents Association (CRA), the Christmas Picnic at Hamilton Park brings festive lights, carols, local food and drink, gift stalls and a community picnic to support park maintenance, the Salvation Army and bring the community together.
Local food and drink vendors and limited gift sellers are invited to participate, with their stand fees used towards fundraising as well as covering costs.
The project is inspired by a local Craighall resident that decorates his house in lights and hosts carols every year. It's a popular neighbourhood activation which has grown substantially in size, and now Hamilton Park has become the new home for this much-loved and anticipated annual event.
The event is an annual standing event that has attracted residents from far and wide, with over 300 people attending.
Sponsorships are available ranging from Bronze to Platinum levels, alongside in-kind, raffle, and prize sponsorships, and community members are encouraged to volunteer or support activities on the day.
