Plenty of Christmas cheer, and not just the kind you have to pay for in department stores, can be found around the city this year as the Council launches a new initiative.

Combining awesome things like orchestrated bell-ringing sessions, Christmas story-telling at the library, festive lighting of the Town Hall and roving performers ready to carry out random acts of kindness at any moment, Christmas in the City is set to invoke smiles wherever it treads. Perhaps most exciting of all, the Council-run good times also include an app that can be used to find Santa, reindeer and other charming Christmas critters hiding around the CBD through augmented reality technology. There’s no doubt kids and adults alike will love that.
