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.

Off Season update…
In the last few days I received an certificate in the mail from XYZ Networks (operator of several subscription TV channels on Foxtel). I thought what could this be, but low and behold it is a certificate of appreciation. How about that, eh? Something positive to offset the weather event and vandalism of 2010
Oh, and yes, there are still a few decorations to take down!! (It can’t be March already??)
Ryan’s Christmas Lights 2006 has been rated the number one Christmas display in the entire state out of all the competition entries!
My thoughts to Seven News… if they thought that was good, wait until they see 2007!!
Look out for my lights on Seven News straight after the weather report if you are in South Australia!!
The crew from Seven News were here last night filming, and 20 seconds of footage will be aired on Seven News at about 6:25pm tonight (Friday) for Adelaide residents.
Ryan’s Christmas Lights 2005 has had quite a bit of publicity this month: From the Messenger and Advertiser Newspapers, to FIVEaa Talkback Radio and Seven News. I would like to thank everybody involved in organising this publicity – from the staff of the media companies to the members of the community.
Less than a week away until December 1st now! I have been lucky enough to get the Messenger News Review Team interviewing me about the lights display. Pictures of the 98% complete display are now available for viewing on the 2005 Photo Gallery.
Also thank you Maz for your generous $50 donation!
