The Hastings will be treated to an extravaganza to build anticipation for this special time of year.
On November 22, Port Macquarie's CBD will come alive with festive season spirit for the open air Christmas celebration.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and the Port Macquarie Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to organise the massive community celebration which culminates with the lighting of the giant Christmas tree.
Chamber of Commerce Board member, Janette Hyde, said the aim is to create something special for the region
"We're hoping this year will set a precedence to keep such an event going for many years to come," Mrs Hyde said.
Banners will line the streets and palm trees will be lit up to enhance the festive atmosphere.
Schools and community groups have been invited to be part of the Santa parade down Horton Street, dressing up in all things jolly and bright.
