Light your candles

Gather your loved ones and join families from across the region to celebrate the spirit of Christmas at the much-loved Melton Carols by Candlelight on Saturday, December 2.

The evening of free family entertainment will kick off at 6pm at Hannah Watts Park and will boast performances by schools, community groups, the renowned Mik Maks and a talented live band led by Lee Bradshaw.

Sing along with the dynamic performances of traditional and modern Christmas songs, plus Santa Claus will be making a special appearance.

Children can enjoy face painting and Christmas craft activities and Santa’s helpers will be on hand to help the little ones send a letter with their Christmas wishes to the North Pole.

Residents are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket and something to eat. There will also be a range of food trucks on site and a barbecue hosted by Melton Valley Rotary Club.

In the event of severe weather, Carols by Candlelight may be cancelled. Notification of any cancellation will be posted on council’s website and Facebook page the day of the event.

Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik said Carols by Candlelight is a wonderful way to welcome the festive season and celebrate a very special time of year as a community.’

“This will be a spectacular evening where friends and families can experience the magic and meaning of Christmas together,“ she said.

“Bring your best singing voices and come along and join the fun.“
