Around 28 business and five residences took part in the competition, with King's Antiques and Collectables winning the business section and Jason Davis winning the residential section.
King's Antiques and Collectables owner Judy King said it was an honour to help contribute to the Bathurst CBD's winter cheer.
"The theme was 'People and Places', so we went with a display to reflect both winter and Bathurst's value as a heritage city," Mrs King said.
"We've entered the competition every year to help beautify the CBD during the festival, and we've received plenty of positive comments for this year's display."
Alpha Signs Bathurst designed the building cutout for the the King's Antiques display.
Mrs King said she has enjoyed the festival period, however lamented the impact of COVID-19 on proceedings.
"We normally get a lot of visitors from Sydney, and it's a shame they've been unable to come," she said.
"But the locals have enjoyed it, which has been pleasing to see."
