The event, on Sunday, December 7, will include a barbecue and refreshments, icecream and kids activities.
There will be performances by special guest star Callum Gleeson, of The Voice fame, as well as students from the Mathoura Primary School.
Callum was part of the carols evening last year, and was a big hit.
But of course, the highlight of the night will be a visit from the chubby fellow in the red suit - Santa Claus.

After many years as your columnist, I have decided it’s time to pass the torch.
I intend to retire from writing the ‘Mathoura Diary’ column in December.
I would love for someone to take over from me, to ensure local news is provided to the Deniliquin Pastoral Times each week.
If you’d like to know more about what this entails, or would like to volunteer for the job, please contact me, or Pastoral Times content manager Zoe McMaugh at zoe.mcmaugh@denipt.com.au.
