Vision Australias Carols by Candlelight 2020
published: Invalid date!!!
COVID-19 alert Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), event information may be out of date. Please confirm event details with event organisers.
The Carols by Candlelight celebrations are held at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne. This event started way back in 1938 and is by far the biggest Christmas celebration in Australia where families come together to sing along to Christmas carols.
This traditional event is held outdoors and involves live music and singing performances of popular Australian artists, famous TV personalities, as well as local choirs. This event is telecast live on TV each year on Christmas Eve, so those who can’t attend in person can enjoy singing along to carols from the comfort of their home.
The carols event in Melbourne also includes a spectacular fireworks display. Thousands flock to the music bowl year after year, where they bring a picnic blanket and a few nibbles, and settle in to listen to traditional Christmas music as the sun goes down.
You can bring the following items into the event: rugs, cushions, picnics, collapsible prams and sealed or empty plastic water bottles up to 650mls. Lawn chairs are permitted providing they are not more than 20cm off the ground. Alcohol is not permitted, nor are high backed chairs - this is to ensure that you don’t block other carolers sitting behind you on the lawn.
