Grown ups can have fun too

Christmas isn’t just for kids.

Adults can get into the festive spirit at the City of Greater Geelong’s Christmas in Geelong program, which has expanded to include more events and activities for adults.

Community members are encouraged to take advantage of the new opportunities on offer, such as special afternoon rounds of golf with family and friends at Christmas at Balyang Par 3 sessions.

Enjoy carols while you swim and a complimentary gift at Christmas by the Pool sessions at Kardinia Aquatic Centre and Lara Aquatic Centre.

Furry friends can get in on the festive action and have a memorable snap with Mr Claus at Santa Pet Photos.

A number of events are being supported by local businesses, such as the Piano Bar’s Carols by Candelabra and Christmas Queens night with fabulous queens Lynnduh and Max Drag Queen.

Start your December 25 right by participating in Christmas Day Morning Yoga at Wonder Yoga or take a surf lesson with Santa’s Elves at Ocean Grove Beach with Go Ride a Wave.

There are Christmas masterclasses on food and wine and wreath making, and Christmas themed painting classes.

Mayor Trent Sullivan said Council’s Christmas in Geelong program was the largest to date, appealing to more people of all ages.

“Christmas is such a busy time as we organise gifts, wrap up work and prepare for the big day, but adults can have just as much fun as the kids this silly season,” he said.

“Whether it’s playing a sport, trying your hand at a masterclass or enjoying a Christmas-themed drink and a show with mates, there’s something to suit many interests and preferences.”

Explore the City’s Christmas in Geelong program at geelongaustralia.com.au/christmas and get planning for some fun experiences.
