Carols on Kings 2026
Celebrate the festive season this December 2026 at Carols on Kings, hosted at the Kings Beach Amphitheatre in Caloundra. Sunshine Coast families and kids can spread out a picnic rug by the water to enjoy an outdoor evening of live carols, local stage performances, delicious food trucks, and a special visit from Santa.
Carols on Kings 2026
Proudly presented by Caloundra RSL at Kings Beach Amphitheatre, Caloundra.
Christmas in Caloundra sounds like a few thousand people singing slightly out of tune while the light goes off the water. Carols on Kings brings the community together for an evening of carols, live performances and food under a summer sky. It’s the kind of Christmas that only makes sense on the Sunshine Coast.
The stage program runs into the evening with local performers, familiar carols and the sort of atmosphere only found outdoors in December. A picnic rug is recommended, along with arriving early and staying for the singing after dark. Food trucks will be on site through the evening, so dinner is sorted. Santa will also be in attendance.
Carols on Kings is presented by Caloundra RSL, who will be on site with a community marquee and free cold water for anyone who needs it. The event is delivered by the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce, with support from Sunshine Coast Council and the Office of Kendall Hatcher MP.
