Join the Fraser Coast Christmas Lights Trail in 2025
It’s time to light up the Fraser Coast and spread festive cheer with registrations now open for residents and businesses to join the annual Christmas Lights Trail.
Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said the trail was one of the most loved community traditions of the year, bringing families, friends and neighbours together to celebrate the joy of Christmas.
“There’s something magical about Christmas lights as they bring people together, brighten our streets, and create wonderful memories for families,” Cr Seymour said.
“Last year, almost 170 homes and businesses registered, with residents and visitors alike taking evening drives to see the sparkling displays.
“This year, we are encouraging more businesses to light up and join the Christmas Lights Trail.
“It’s a simple, festive way for businesses to boost visibility, with decorations that continue to draw attention well beyond trading hours.
Cr Seymour said all registered homes and businesses will feature on Council’s interactive online Christmas Lights Trail map, which will be available on Council’s website in early December.
“We had some amazing light displays in 2024 with nine streets nominated for the coveted Christmas Street title,” he said.
“Westminster Court in Kawungan was the winner of the best Christmas Street in 2024, with Ronaldo Way in Urangan winning the title in 2023.
Paul Mewett from Westminster Court in Kawungan said they were thrilled by how many people visited their street to enjoy the dazzling Christmas lights last year.
“It took us more than a month to set up over 50,000 lights, but it was all worth it seeing the smiles on people’s faces,” he said.
“Our street is planning to go even bigger and brighter this year as we try to take out the street title for the second year in a row.
“The winning street earns a ‘Christmas Street’ sign to display for 12 months.
“If three or more houses in one street team up, they’ll be in the running for the 2025 Christmas Street crown.”
Registrations for the Fraser Coast Christmas Lights Trail are open now and close at 5pm, Thursday 20 November.
