The Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols Livestream
The Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols Livestream returns to Roma Street Parkland in 2026.
Jingling all the way from Riverstage and onto the Amphitheatre big screen, join us for the music
and the magic of Brisbane’s most loved carols event.
This is your invitation to enjoy a free and fun family-friendly night out this festive season – round
up your loved ones, pack a picnic blanket and BYO Christmas cheer.
Gates open to the Amphitheatre from 6.00pm to enjoy festive food truck fare and seasonal
ambiance as the sun sets over the parkland.
From 7.00 pm, settle in for an evening of dazzling performances and get set to celebrate
together under the stars. This year’s star-studded line-up features a bill of Australian talent
including Samantha Jade, Dami Im, Hugh Sheridan, Monica Trapaga, Katie Noonan, Dylan
Wright, Max Jackson and Jude York, alongside family favourites Emma Memma and Elvin
Melvin.
This is a free event with no registration required.
In the spirit of the season, this event supports the Lord Mayor’s Charitable trust in giving back to
the Brisbane community.
