(city) is waiting for you / hopes to see you soon*
Or: "(city) is ready to roll out the doormat for you". This makes sense unless the name of an event appeared where you've indicated "city".

If the name of the event should go where you've placed "city," "It's almost time for (x event)!" would work.

Thanks, Noni. All three answers offered so far are interesting, but it might be a good idea to query the client about his/her intentions.

Spanish term (edited):
¡[Cuidad] ya está cerca!
Next stop [City]!
This instantly sprang to mind when I read your question. Very common usage throughout the English-speaking world, and works especially well because of the exclamation, in my opinion...

Almost there!
I would write the name of the city and then "Almost there!"
