Christmas is coming and what better way to celebrate than with family, friends and the whole community at Coffs Coast Carols in Brelsford Park on Saturday, December 14.

This year’s lineup is brimming with talent and includes Swanee, (John Swan) who has recently made his home on the Coffs Coast, the delightful Kada Miller, opera songstress Bernadette Fisher (nee Squires) from Brisbane and Kailey Pallas who is rapidly making a name for herself all over town.

Organisers have also reached out to the schools and been lucky enough to add three local students from different schools in Kate Shieds, Imogen Damon and Ginger Freudenskim to the bill.

Three local choirs will be performing, including a combined schools choir featuring more than 80 children who will perform Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  Coffs Community Orchestra will also perform as the event starts doing orchestral versions of popular carols. Well-known local Maureen Burgess has organised the ‘We’re All Stars Choir’, an all-abilities choir.

And, as we go to print, organisers are promising even more surprises.

The spectacular show will be hosted by Hit 105.5’s AB and Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight.

Of course, Santa will be paying a visit to do a final check of his ‘Naughty and Nice List’.

It’s not just performers on stage, the kids will be entertained with face painting, fun inflatables and glow sticks that will be available for purchase thanks to Coffs Girl Guides.

You can bring a picnic, or there will be plenty of delicious food and drink stalls to choose from!

So come on down, dress in your craziest Christmas outfit and sing loud and proud from 6pm, Saturday 14th December at this feel good community celebration.

A huge thank you to our Major Event Sponsors this year – JLE Entertainment, C.ex Group and Coffs Harbour City Council, as well as the many local businesses that are showing their support for this annual community event.
