THERE is an Italian flavour to the first street celebration and night market Buon Natale, which will start Christmas celebrations in Bay View Terrace, Claremont on December 6.
“We’ve chosen Italy because of the terrace’s cobbles, the tree-lined streets, alfresco dining and European-style Christmas markets,” Claremont Mayor Jock Barker said.
Buon Natale is promised to transform the terrace’s northern end by showcasing gift ideas and entertainment, such as the accordion duo Jingle Bello.

The terrace is home to many Italian restaurants among those participating in a series of celebratory nights running into the start of 2019.
They include The Claremont Hotel, Claremont Newsagency, Nolita Italian Cafe, and StandIn’ Room.
Other supporting businesses are Hannah Etherington Flowers, MJ Creations, Modern Era, La Lucca, Crust Pizza, Claremont Toyworld, Lady Kitchener, Monde, Pressed Earth, The Italian Closet and Temptations.
