MARY St will become a hive of merriment tomorrow night thanks to the return of the main street’s iconic events after the normal year’s schedule was largely cancelled.
This week’s Christmas on Mary festival marks the first time the thrice-yearly street party will be held in 2020 after the cancellation of the Easter and Winter Trees events due to the pandemic.
Chamber of Commerce president and Christmas on Mary founder Tony Goodman the event’s return in time for the holiday season was “fantastic”.
“It nearly didn’t happen,” Mr Goodman said, owing to the rigid rules around gatherings and events to halt the spread of COVID-19.
