Christmas spirit will take over the Geelong foreshore on Saturday night, with the Denis Walter Carols by the Bay and lighting of the floating Christmas tree.
As locals and visitors flock to the waterfront, traffic closures will be in place from 6pm to keep everyone safe.
Western and Eastern Beach Roads will be closed between Cunningham Street and Yarra Street.
Moorabool Street will be shut off between Eastern Beach Road and Brougham Street.
These roads will reopen to traffic around 10:30pm or when safe to do so.
The City of Greater Geelong has advised there will be no access to The Novotel, Edgewater Apartments and Pier Point Apartments (Eastern Beach drieway), with drivers asked to park in adjacent streets if vehicle access is required.
Cunningham Pier and Western Foreshore carparks will remain open.
Westfield’s yellow ground level car park will stay open for the event, with entry until 8pm and exits closing strictly at 10:30pm.
It will be accessible through Brougham Street only, with free parking if entering after 6pm.
The local council has also notified locals of a two-minute pyrotechnic display from the floating Christmas tree at around 9pm, with pet owners encouraged to bring animals indoors or secure them in a safe location.
