Lobethal Pageant, December 23
Time your trip to Lobethal with the town’s pageant on the Main Street. There’s no better town to celebrate Christmas than Lobey.
Local tip: On your way to the Lobethal, don’t miss stopping at Melba’s Chocolate Factory for some seasonal treats (or Christmas day supplies). Melba’s is open twilight hours and is hosting special activities in the lead-up to Christmas – including face painting, colouring competitions, games, and visits from Father Christmas.
There’s no better place for your family to be this holiday season than in the Hills.
