CASPA CEO Naarah Rodwell said the carnival promised to create lasting memories for families in Lismore.

“When CASPA talks about Christmas, we use it as an allencompassing term that captures the many ways our community comes together over the summer months,” she said.

“With our inaugural Christmas Carnival, we want to provide our community with an event that centralises joy and optimism as a source of resilience and connection. We want to bring our whole community together, regardless of background or culture, and provide hope at a time of year that can sometimes be challenging.

“In addition to community celebration and connection, this carnival provides a wonderful platform for local businesses to increase their visibility and maximise their sales in the lead up to the giving season.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Commonwealth Bank for their generous support and look forward to bringing this magical event to life.”
