The festive season is set to shine bright in South Morang as Whittlesea prepares to host its annual Carols by Candlelight on Friday 12 December.
Running between 6pm and 9pm on the Civic Centre Lawns, the beloved community celebration is expected to draw hundreds of families for an evening of music, lights, and Christmas cheer.
The night will open with a lively performance from Team Dream, whose energetic Christmas show promises plenty of fun for children and parents alike.
More than 70 singers and musicians from across the region will then take to the stage as thew Community Carols Choir and Diamond Valley Brass Band come together to perform a collection of classic Christmas tunes.
Headliner Glenn Starr will close the evening with a feel-good set of festive favourites, offering smooth vocals and plenty of holiday warmth to round out the night.
Alongside the music, families can expect to enjoy free activities to the likes of face-painting, craft workshops and roving entertainment, with Santa Claus himself scheduled to make a special appearance at 8pm.
