Continuing a tradition going back several decades, the Deniliquin Business Chamber’s much-loved annual event celebrates the festive season by showcasing the creativity, generosity and Christmas spirit of our community.
Families and friends are encouraged to tour Deniliquin and enjoy the magic of twinkling lights, while appreciating the effort our residents and businesses put into spreading cheer.
And if smiles on faces is not enough of an incentive, there are some great prizes up for grabs too.
In the residential section, sponsored by Ray White Deniliquin, there’s a $400 Why Leave Town local gift card up for grabs for the best judged display, and a $100 card for the runner-up.
The $500 people’s choice residential display award is sponsored by Harvey Norman.
This year, there are two prize categories for businesses.
The best retail/professional business will receive an advertising package worth $1000, split evenly to be used with sponsors Deniliquin Pastoral Times and 2QN/Edge FM.
The new industrial/trade display category is sponsored by Deni Golf Resort and Deniliquin Golf Club, with the prize being a stay and play package.
Valued at $490, it includes one night’s shared accommodation for four people, 18-holes for each person and the hire of two golf carts.
Both business winners also receive one year of their Deniliquin Business Chamber membership, paid for by chamber.
And the prizes don’t stop there.
There will be a lucky draw of all residential entrants, with a $100 Why Leave Town gift card up for grabs.
And if you take part in the people’s choice voting, you could win a Deni Ute Muster sponsored 2026 event ticket, blue singlet and stubby holder.
