A 40m x 10m LED light canopy will be installed on Main Street throughout December to help enhance the Christmas experience in the Sydney Hills while attracting thousands of visitors to the Shire.
“This is a unique experience that won’t be found anywhere else in Sydney and will draw thousands of visitors to our Shire,” a Council sposkesperson said.
“It’s about celebrating Christmas, celebrating the end of the year and providing a memorable experience for our residents – one they won’t have to travel into the Sydney CBD for.”
Inspired by the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, the Sydney Hills Christmas Light and Sound Spectacular will combine a visual lights show with audio recordings of student performances from local music schools.
Main Street will be closed for a few hours every night so that residents and visitors can walk under the canopy and enjoy the show and atmosphere.
Very conservative estimates suggest the light and sound show could provide a $750,000 boost to the local economy.
