Local families and friends can celebrate the festive season on a great note with Rockhampton’s premier Christmas event, Carols by Candlelight, in December. As a sea of candles lights up the Music Bowl, talented local performers will take the stage to present a magical evening of carol singing. The line up will feature a mix of contemporary and traditional favourites sure to delight and entertain the whole family.


But don’t expect the people on stage to do all the work – there will be plenty of community carol singing from the audience. Add to that, a visit from Santa and a spectacular fireworks finale and you have a great family event.


Rockhampton Mayor Cr Brad Carter said he was looking forward to Carols By Candlelight.


“ Carols by Candlelight is a great time to come together with family and friends and celebrate Christmas,” he said.


Entry to the event is by gold coin donation, with proceeds going to this year’s nominated charities, the RACQ Capricorn Helicopter Rescue and SU Queensland’s Brekkie Club.Carols by Candlelight is organised by Rockhampton Regional Council and proudly sponsored by The Morning Bulletin, 4RO, Southern Cross Ten and City Centre Plaza.
