It wouldn’t be Christmas without carols and the longest-running carols event on the Sunshine Coast will be celebrating their 60th birthday this year! The Peregian Beach Carols will be taking place on Wednesday, December 18 and all eyes will be to the sky as Santa parachutes into the event.
A committed group of local community groups, including Peregian Family & Friends Inc, Peregian Beach Business Association, Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club, and events professionals are meeting regularly to prepare what should be the best carols yet.
Graham Reid, President of Peregian Family & Friends said that the community was getting very excited.
“This is such an iconic event within the community.
“We are collaborating with the Peregian Beach Business Association and the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club to bring the event back to the Peregian Park and we’d love the whole community to attend.”
This year’s event will be a mix of traditional and modern songs and at 6pm a very special guest will arrive.
“We have all the old favourites like carol singers and musicians singing traditional and modern songs, and weather permitting our ‘sky-diving’ guest will be there for the kids with help from the awesome lifesavers from the PBSLSC.”
Graham said that the carols would also be a place to grab last-minute gifts and would feature lots of great activities.
“We’re also continuing some of the new features we added in 2023, such as a food court, local artisan market, a jumping castle and a spectacular surprise to conclude the evening – an amazing finale laser show at 8pm!
“All of this will be lots of fun for little and big kids alike.”
The organisers would like to see the entire community at the carols and to help cover the costs of putting on such a large event, are requesting that where people can, donate towards the event.
“We are requesting a small donation per family to cover the costs of attending the carols, with a $15 per family contribution which covers all music, entertainment and kid’s activities.”
Tickets are on sale now at www.humanitix.com.au and searching ‘Peregian Carols’.
