Carols in Dandenong Park , Putney St, Dandenong is back for its 75th year, and that alone is a testament to its popularity as a free traditional carols event for the whole family to enjoy. Held on Friday 9 December 2022 from 6-9.30pm, you can look forward to an exciting stage program, which is not quite available yet, so do stay in touch with the event page for updates. From 6-7pm there's an exciting pre-show entertainment that includes free face painting, roving performers, art and craft activities and free photos with Santa. Stroll through the Christmas craft market and meet local makers and get an early start on your Christmas gift shopping.

From 7pm the stage program will feature performances from local schools and church groups, many of which will be accompanied by the Greater Dandenong Band. Bring your own chairs and picnic blankets and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere while you try food from a selection of delicious food stalls. You are encouraged to bring items like water bottles, reusable cutlery and containers and reusable shopping bags in order to avoid single-use plastic and to support the City of Greater Dandenong's vision to be one of the most sustainable cities in Australia by 2030.

There's going to be a touch of the circus coming to Carols this year with performances by the Dreaming Space, while the Band will be performing that big brass band sound we all love. Celia and friends will be there with a funky fun-filled Christmas adventure for the whole family to enjoy. She'll be joined by local singer and comedian Geraldine Quinn; and if you're lucky, you just might spot the jolly man with an incredible beard in a big red suit, on stage. Stay in touch via the website for more information, and the Facebook page is great for updates also.
