On December 24 each year, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl lights up as families and friends gather to celebrate the festive season with performances of their favourite Christmas carols. A crowd of 10,000 are in attendance at the event while many watch from home on Channel 9.

Carols by Candlelight is the largest annual fundraiser for Vision Australia’s children’s services, with all proceeds from the event supporting services for families and children who are blind or low vision.

This iconic event on Christmas Eve is a magical Melbourne experience. There are several options for seating on both the lawn and in the stalls. Stalls seating increases in price closer to the stage and sells out quickly, so don’t miss out!

Can’t make it on Christmas Eve? Bring your family and friends for a sneak peek as our performers have one final rehearsal on December 23.
Please be aware the performance on December 23 is not a dress rehearsal. This is a practice for the big night and there may be sound checks and breaks during the rehearsal.
