Pack a picnic rug and head down to Ruffey Lake Park to celebrate the festive season at the 34th annual Manningham Carols by Candlelight.

Celebrations include a Kids Zone with rides, face painting and activities from 6.00 pm with the pre-show entertainment at 7.00 pm

The main carols concert program will commence from 8.00 pm and will include a variety of performances accompanied by Manningham Concert Band as well as featured act ‘Urban Praise’, who will bring a blend of R&B, soul and gospel to the event followed by a spectacular fireworks finale.

Come along and enjoy a family night out singing along to your favourite Christmas carols, plus a very special visit from Santa.

Glow novelties will be available for purchase throughout the evening, along with a range of food and drinks. Parking is available via King Street.

The 2015 Carols by Candlelight event is presented by Manningham Council and proudly supported by Barry Plant Doncaster, Leader Newspapers, Stockland The Pines and Yarra Valley Water.
