Event organiser Jeremy Bate said it was a welcome change to the postponed event last year.
"People can bring their own boards and festive gear for a spontaneous community gathering of Santas, Mrs Claus and elves," Mr Bate said.
"It's a nice community event for no reason, you don't have to put your hand in your pocket and you can just come down to enjoy Christmas."
The event has previously garnered support from Mid North Coast Girls Surfriders, Mal de Mer longriders club and residents.
