City of Bunbury events officer Jade Evans said Christmas in the City made for an appealing occasion for everyone in the community.
“We have local performers on stage, businesses, groups, clubs in the street parade and we try to have local vendors wherever possible as well,” she said.
“It really is a community event to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season.”
The Apprentice and Traineeship Company has signed on to be the event’s official sponsor for the next five years.
Apprentice and Traineeship Company chief executive officer Stan Liaros said they wanted to give back to the community.
“I have always said to my kids that giving is actually more important than receiving,” he said.
“Myself and the board decided it would be a terrific way to say thank you to the community.”
