Keep an eye on the sky on Wednesday 22 December when Santa returns to Peregian Beach for the Sunshine Coast’s longest running Christmas carols, now in its 57th year.
A committed group of local volunteers and events professionals is gathering each week to prepare what they hope will be the best carols event yet, including a host of local entertainers.
“Following 18 months of Covid uncertainty, it is exciting to bring such an iconic event to the community, especially being the longest running carols event on the Coast,” Peregian Family and Friends president Leigh McCready said.
“Last year, we ran a small carols’ event at the Surf Club due to restrictions on numbers, but this year we have teamed up with the Peregian Beach Business Association (PBBA) to bring the event back to the park and we’d love the whole community to attend.”
“This year’s event is going to have all the old favourites like carol singers, musicians singing traditional and modern songs and, of course, a very special guest will be there for the kids,” PBBA president Nicki White said.
“We’re also introducing some new features such as a local artisan market for those last minute Christmas goodies, jumping castle and a spectacular laser light show to conclude the evening with lots of surprises in between.”
Ms McCready said the cost to attend the carols had been kept low with the support of Noosa Council, with a $10 per family ticket to replace gold coin per person donations previously required at the entry gates.
“Our two organisations are also working with fantastic local events managers, Events Cartel and Key Elements, to ensure the evening runs smoothly.”
“We want everyone to come along and celebrate our wonderful community and the spirit of Christmas on Wednesday 22 December, from 3pm in Peregian Park, Peregian Beach,” Ms White said.
