Here are the details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>December 1 to 13:  <strong>Best dressed shop window competition<\/strong>. Shops in Rhiwbina are invited to dress their window with the best festive display they can. Last year&#8217;s winner was Serenade Gift Shop.

Rhiwbina residents are invited to create their own Christmas tree out of recycled materials. The events team suggests only using materials that are natural and can be recycled, and steer away from glitter and other harmful materials.
