"It's almost a rite of passage for seniors in our area and I know they look forward to Mocktail," Cr Williamson said.

"We're one of the few regions to run a Mocktail - 29 years running now - and it has just become one of those rites of passage.

"It comes at the right time. It's not towards the end of the year when it's really difficult to have it with the work seniors do.

"It's great to see all of our leading young seniors out there have a great night without any alcohol involved."
