Wyndham Carols by Candlelight

Wyndham Carols by Candlelight is set to return to the Great Lawn of Werribee Mansion on Saturday 13 December for what promises to be a magical evening of music, family fun, carols and community Christmas spirit.

With 35 years of tradition, this event has grown to become Victoria’s largest Christmas celebration outside of Melbourne’s Christmas Eve concert, according to organisers.

Organisers expect more than 6000 people to attend this year’s event.

Headlining this year’s line-up is the internationally renowned singer-songwriter and Wyndham local Fatai Veamatahau.

Her rich vocal range and blending of soul and pop has led to her sharing the stage with the likes of Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, and PJ Morton, as well as tour the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.

She will be accompanied by the sensational Salvation Army Melbourne Staff Band who has graced us with their full and magical sound for the last few years.

The Wyndham Carols by Candlelight is a non-profit event organised by the Wyndham Ministers Network, representing over 17 local churches in the Wyndham area, and supported by the Wyndham City Council.

This year’s program will also feature the nativity procession.

Gates will open at 5pm, giving families time to enjoy pre-show activities, including a wide selection of food trucks and kids’ activities.

People are encouraged to invite their friends and family along to make a spectacular night of it and spread the Christmas cheer as far as they can.
