Letters to Santa

Father Christmas with the help of the Lioness Club will send each child their very own letter from Santa at the North Pole? It’s easy – Just write to “Father Christmas”, c/- Tin Can Bay Lioness Club, PO Box 127, Tin Can Bay 4580.

Enclose a cheque or money order for $3.00 per child and give us their name, address and age and we will see that Santa writes to them before Christmas. All funds raised are for our community. Contact Denise McKean – 5486 4103 or email lionessclubtincanbay@gmail.com.

Christmas Eve at the Sports Club

The Rainbow Beach Sports Club is on Santa’s quick “drop in” route to do his last minute check on who’s been naughty or nice….  Great for last minute photo’s with the kids and especially for those kids who are holidaying in Rainbow for Christmas and might be a bit worried that Santa won’t know where to find them.

Tin Can Bay Foreshore Carnival 28th – 31st December

The Tin Can Bay Chamber of Commerce and Tourism is again providing four days of family fun and entertainment with pony rides, loads of carnival rides including dodgem cars every day from 4pm until 9pm and that old fashioned carnival food that we all love on the foreshore parkland.

Situated behind the library and RSL in Tin Can Bay why not bring a rug or chair and enjoy this beautiful outlook across the waterways of Tin Can Bay. A dry family fun event, New Year’s Eve stage entertainment will commence at 6.30pm. The main firework display will be held at 10pm. The night does not end there as the band will continue until midnight which will be followed by a few big bangs to mark in the New Year at midnight.

So much fun to be had! Plus there are Christmassy stories and craft at the library, “The Tents” Rainbow Beach Holiday Program and NYE event, and lots more to see in our What’s On Page (also online).
