Days remain until Light Up Leeton's December 5 Christmas Fair in 2021

Light Up Leeton will look a little different to usual in 2021, with some aspects of the popular event unable to go ahead due to ongoing restrictions as part of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The big one is the community concert, but the committee behind the event has done its best to ensure residents can still enjoy a festive get together in Mountford Park on Sunday evening.

Talented solo singers will take to the stage throughout the afternoon, rides will be available for the kids and the Rotary Hams Carnival is also set to go ahead when the event kicks off at 5.30pm.

Community groups from across the shire will also have stalls set up to supply residents with all kinds of delicious eats and treats, with all proceeds going back into the pockets of these vital organisations.

Light Up Leeton chairman Robyn Retallick was hopeful residents would turn out and celebrate the official start of the Christmas period.

"We're hoping people come along and just have a good time ... so much has been cancelled, so we're hoping to provide some cheer," she said.

"With the community groups having their stalls, we'd love to see them making some money because they haven't been able to do much fundraising at all over the last two years.

"There will definitely be something for everyone on Sunday, so fingers crossed people come along."

Residents attending will be required to be double vaccinated and check-in on the day. Mrs Retallick also encouraged residents to register and light up their homes for a chance to win prizes.
