A Christmas tradition which brings the community together

Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight has been a Christmas tradition for over 80 years – combining classic Australian Christmas carols and a great evening of family entertainment. Whilst the festive season will undoubtedly look a little different this year, our audiences will be looking to us to provide a sense of community across the Christmas period.

Our “Carols family” includes performers such as Denis Walter and Marina Prior who have been a part of the event for over 30 years, not to mention all the festive families who attend the concert and those who watch it at home year after year. They all come together every Christmas Eve at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl to support the Vision Australia community.

Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight is a stalwart of Christmas tradition which presents the perfect platform for brands to showcase products and offers in the lead-up to not only the holiday period, but also Australia’s billion-dollar Boxing Day shopping spree.
