The Rotary Club of Dromana is once again hosting their annual Carols by Candelight in Dromana on Christmas Eve. A long-held tradition for many local families, several hundred people are expected to participate in this reverent evening of community and song.

Carols by Candlelight have been held on the Dromana foreshore of over twenty years and is always well attended with music provided by the Mornington Youth & Citizens Brass Band, the Choir from the University of the Third Age – Southern Peninsula Division, along with the student choir from the Dromana Primary School. Everyone will be encouraged to sing along, and songbooks are provided to ensure you have those familiar, yet often elusive words, at hand for all your favourite Christmas tunes.

The event officially starts at 6.30pm but you are more than welcome to arrive earlier and set up camp on the lawn opposite the Old Shire Offices. This event requires BYO chair and picnic blanket - and while a sausage sizzle will be hot and firing, and there'll be drinks and ice cream available to purchase, too - you are more than welcome to bring along your own picnic hamper of dinner and treats to share and enjoy throughout the night. However, proceeds raised by the food stalls on the night are being donated to the local Salvation Army. So if the smell of sausage and onion is just too tempting to resist, please don't hold back.

If you stay until the end, which is around 8pm, the jolly big man in red himself – yes, Santa, will be making a very special guest appearance to hand out sweets to the kids and receive their Christmas lists.

Carols by Candlelight Dromana is being held on Saturday 24th December 2016. Singing will commence at 6.30pm and finishes around 8pm. Lay down your picnic rug in Memorial Park, 359 Point Nepean Road, Dromana. Entry to this event is free.
