To be held on Christmas Day, the event brings together those staying in town for the festive season, new residents to the shire and more.
"It's open to the whole community," organiser Fran Artese said.
"Some people think it's just for our senior residents, and while they are welcome to attend, we want people to know it doesn't matter what age they are, they are welcome to come. We're really looking forward to it.
"Last year was the first time we held it on Christmas Day, which was always the idea of Sherrie Cormie, who came up with the concept for the whole event."
A two-course meal will be served up on the day, with produce donated by various businesses in town.
Volunteers will work in two shifts to help set up the St Peter's Hall and serve the first meal, while a second group will dish out dessert and be on clean-up duty.
"We're really grateful for all of the support we receive," Ms Artese said. Last year we had about 60 people there, so it should be just as good this year."
Students from St Joseph's Primary School have held raffles during the year to raise money for small gifts to be presented on the day.
"It's a good way to bring the community together on this day if they don't have plans elsewhere," Ms Artese said.
