Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight
Sidney Myer Music Bowl (VIC)
December 24 – 8pm
I can’t think of any other Christmas traditions as significant or magical as this one. For as long as I can remember, Christmas Eve has always entailed sitting down to watch Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. But there is nothing quite as special as going along to the event to see some of Australia’s best performers belting out all our Christmas favourites and spreading the love and joy ahead of Santa’s arrival. Kids and adults alike will love the Christmas Carols and the event raises money for Vision Australia, a valuable charity providing assistance to kids who are blind or suffer from low vision.
