Get ready for a star-studded line up at this year's Monash Carols by Candlelight.
Join our incredible hosts, The Voice Australia winner Chris Sebastian, alongside Monash Carols favourite Bella Craig, as they lead a stellar line up of Australian and local performers.
They'll be joined by the Monash Carols by Candlelight Band, a collaboration between the Monash Concert Band and Oakleigh Brass, and the All Star Carols Band, featuring some of Australia's finest musicians, including members of John Farnham's former touring band.
The Main Concert begins at 7.30pm, but there's plenty happening earlier in the day.
Arrive early for our Pre-Show Christmas Market at 3pm, with local makers and artisan stalls offering handmade gifts, crafts, jewellery, homewares and festive treats.

The night will finish with a spectacular Fireworks Finale at 9pm, weather permitting.
