Santa will ditch the sleigh in favour of a Coastguard Hibiscus vessel when he arrives at the annual Carols on the Canal event at Gulf Harbour on Saturday, December 2.
The Christmas themed afternoon is organised by the Gulf Harbour Marine Village Residents Association.
Committee member Trish Faithfull says a storm forced the cancellation of last year’s event, so fingers are crossed for a fine afternoon this year.
A range of entertainment is being planned, which will include local school choirs and bands, solo singers and the North Shore Brass Band.
There will also be face painting, a lollie scramble and sausage sizzle, with all proceeds from the sizzle going to Coastguard.
“It’s a lovely way for neighbours to get together to celebrate Christmas,” Trish says. “We hope they will come along with their blankets and picnic baskets, or support the local eateries. There’s plenty of parking.”
The free event is centred around the rotunda and runs from 3.30pm to around 5.30pm.
