Festive Events
Henty comes alive each December with two of our most-loved festive traditions, the Christmas Carols and the Christmas Lights Competition.

The Carols bring the community together for a joyful evening of music, laughter, and connection. Families and friends gather to enjoy performances of classic Christmas songs, a special visit from Santa, and plenty of festive cheer. It’s a night where the true spirit of community shines.

Meanwhile, the Christmas Lights Competition lights up the town as homes and businesses transform into sparkling displays of colour and creativity.

Together, these events create a wonderful opportunity to share in the joy of the season and celebrate what makes our community so special.
