Stable on the Strand - Townsville Combined Churches Christmas Festival

Donations are sought for Townsville's 5-day Christmas Festival 'Stable on the Strand' which is run by over 900 volunteers, is free of charge, and attracts over 37,000 each year. The event sees over 60 churches join together to present the story of the birth of Christ in song, dance, theatre and creative arts. The event would not be possible without the generosity of donors and sponsors each year.
