Hume City’s flagship Carols by Candlelight event returns with festive tunes, kids activities, food trucks and Santa meet-and-greets.

Our flagship Carols by Candlelight event returns to Craigieburn Anzac Park on Saturday 5 December. An evening of festive cheer, entertainment, and community spirit.

This is a non-ticketed event, but we encourage you to register your attendance to keep up to date with the latest announcements.

The MC and guest performer for 2026 is star of stage and screen Lucy Durack, who will be joined by a host of entertainers, plus the Cat in the Hat and his playful friends Thing 1 and Thing 2.

We’ll also have a youth market, roving entertainment, food stalls and stallholders.

There’s something for everyone at Hume Carols by Candlelight.
