PORTLAND’S festive celebrations are all ready to go, with the Bentinck Street Christmas tree lights lifted into place this week, and New Year’s Eve foreshore entertainment announced.

After being held up by a windy week, workers from local businesses Menzel Electrical and Keppel Prince Engineering yesterday got to work setting up the lights on the large Norfolk Pine that has served at the city’s Christmas tree for more than 50 years.
