THE sound of Christmas will ring out across Hadfield Park when the Community Bank Christmas Carols take centre stage in Wallan on Saturday, December 13.
The event is presented by Community Bank Wallan, Kilmore and Broadford, in association with BGCreative, Discover Mitchell and Hilltop Caravans, and proudly supported by Nestlé and Southern Cross Gold.
After outgrowing its previous home in Kilmore, the beloved event is moving to a bigger venue to welcome even more families for an evening of festive music, free activities and community celebration.
“The Community Bank Christmas Carols are one of the most loved events on our local calendar,” Mitchell Shire Mayor Councillor John Dougall said.
“It’s a chance for people of all ages to come together, sing along and celebrate what makes our community so special.”
The move to Wallan provides more room for families and visitors to enjoy the night safely and comfortably, with an evening of festive music and free activities including face painting, pony rides and a special visit from Santa.
“Hadfield Park is the perfect spot for this growing event,” Cr Dougall said.
“It’s central, accessible and has all the space needed for the thousands of families who love to be part of the carols each year.”
Gates open at 5pm, with pre-show entertainment kicking off before the main concert runs from 6pm to 8pm. Guests can also enjoy food trucks and market stalls featuring local vendors.
“We’re proud to support events that bring people together and showcase the heart of our communities,” Cr Dougall said.
“After such a big year, this is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to relax, have fun and share in the festive spirit.”
Families and visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic rug or low chair and settle in for an evening of Christmas magic.
