Runaway Bay Carols by Candlelight

Runaway Bay Carols by Candlelight returns with a magical evening of festive entertainment for the entire community. The event will feature live music, food vans, festive activities and a special visit from Santa Claus, ending with a spectacular fireworks finale.

Hosted by John Kerr from Radio 94.1FM and Danielle Goullet from Australian Events & Entertainment, the night will be filled with Christmas spirit and sing-along favourites. A lineup of talented performers – including Sabrina Durante, Craig Martin, Sharon Rowntree, Vocal Waves and local school choirs – will take the stage, accompanied by a dynamic seven-piece band.

Families can enjoy delicious food and dessert options from onsite vendors, along with free face-painting, glow products available for purchase and roaming Christmas characters spreading cheer throughout the night.

Santa will help lead the countdown to the fireworks display at 8pm, making it a truly memorable celebration for all ages.
