2024 Para Hills Brass Band carols evening on 22 December
Para Hills Brass Band will once again be having a Christmas carols evening at Ryan’s Christmas Lights. This all takes place from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on Sunday, 22 December 2024.
Our neighbour Mazz & Luke will also be singing a few songs at half time. UPDATE: Due to equipment issues there will be no singer this year. The band will still play.
Bring a folding camping chair if you like, there’s plenty of space opposite us in the public reserve. There will also be chalk for the young (and young at heart) to draw or write Christmas messages on our driveway or footpath.
The normal nightly light show will commence after the band has finished until 10:30 pm.
A Facebook event has been created: https://www.facebook.com/events/428060823695484/
2024 display is live!
As of December 3rd, Ryan’s Christmas Lights is back lighting up Salisbury East for 2024. Showtimes are 8:30 to 10:30 pm nightly until New Years Eve. Show may be cancelled or turned off early if raining.
What has changed this year? The mega tree has about 600 more lights for a more denser, brighter look. Also there are three new RGB stars to replace two old rope light star motifs.
Please take care this Christmas Eve
On this Christmas Eve, the busiest night of the display is approaching. Tonight I ask that all visitors take extra care driving in the area and crossing the road as there will be a greater amount of vehicles on the road and pedestrians walking around.
I’d like to also wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
