Port Macquarie-Hastings Council is seeking a partner to sponsor the 2019 Port Macquarie Christmas tree including at the Countdown to Christmas celebration in the CBD.

Council's group manager Liesa Davies said the Countdown to Christmas is one of our community's most loved and visited family events with more than 10,000 people attending last year.

"From late November, our spectacular Christmas tree will once again stand proud in the centre of Port Macquarie and this is a wonderful opportunity for a local business to have their brand showcased to locals, visitors and tourists right through the busy festive season," she said.

The Countdown to Christmas community event on November 28 features a mascot race, street parade, onstage entertainment, countdown to the lighting of the Christmas tree and the fireworks spectacular.

The Christmas tree remains in place for about six weeks.

The $6000 Christmas tree sponsorship will deliver community connections, brand recognition and brand differentiation.

The sponsor's logo will feature alongside the council logo on signage at the base of the Christmas tree.

The sponsor will have the opportunity to go onstage with mayor Peta Pinson to start the 10-1 countdown and then "hit the button" to light up the Christmas tree.

The sponsor's staff assist with the event delivery as volunteers.

Contact Port Macquarie-Hastings Council for a copy of the sponsorship prospectus by email on council@pmhc.nsw.gov.au or call 6581 8111.
