The Canberra Times 82nd Carols by Candlelight Presented by Music for Canberra

About the Event

Gather your picnic rugs, candles, and community spirit and join us for The Canberra Times 82nd Carols by Candlelight presented by Music for Canberra at Stage 88. Featuring the Woden Valley Youth Choirs, Canberra Youth Orchestra, Canberra City Band, and Kingsland Brass, alongside guest artists from across Canberra's vibrant arts community, the evening showcases extraordinary local talent and celebrates one of Canberra's longest-running festive traditions.

Bring your family and friends, settle in for an evening under the stars, and enjoy your favourite carols as we come together to reflect on the year that has been and celebrate the start of the festive season.

This is a gold coin donation event, with donations helping Music for Canberra continue this much-loved community tradition. Food trucks will be available on the night, along with a special appearance from Santa!
