Deepwater Plaza Shopping Centre proudly served as the Major Sponsor of this year’s Brisbane Water Oyster Festival, held on Sunday, 10 November 2024, at Lions Park. The much-anticipated, family-friendly event delivered a festive day filled with fresh local oysters, vibrant entertainment, and activities for all ages.
Santa’s Letter Writing Workshop
As part of the festivities, Deepwater Plaza hosted a Santa’s Letter Writing Workshop. Children delighted in writing their own letters to Santa, guided by Santa’s elves, who helped them craft their Christmas wishes. Each letter was placed in a special mailbox, ensuring it was sent directly to the North Pole. The workshop provided an enchanting experience, bringing the magic of Christmas to hundreds of young festivalgoers.
Exclusive Offer for Parents
While children penned their letters, parents were invited to join Deepwater Plaza’s exclusive database. Those who signed up ensured their child received a personalised email from Santa, adding an extra touch of holiday joy to the upcoming season.
Convenient Complimentary Shuttle Service
Festivalgoers enjoyed free parking at Deepwater Plaza, along with a complimentary shuttle bus running to and from Lions Park. Conveniently located near Gloria Jeans on George Street, the shuttle service offered visitors a hassle-free way to enjoy the day’s events.
