The longest running Carols event on the Sunshine Coast celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

Keep an eye on the sky on Wednesday 18 December, when Santa returns to Peregian Beach.

A committed group of local community groups, including Peregian Family & Friends Inc, Peregian Beach Business Association and Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club, and events professionals are meeting regularly to prepare what should be the best carols event yet.

Graham Reid, president of Peregian Family and Friends said, “We’re excited to bring such an iconic event to the community. This is the longest running carols event on the Coast!”

“We are collaborating with the Peregian Beach Business Association and the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club to bring the event back to the Peregian Park. We’d love the whole community to attend.

“This year’s event is going to have all the old favourites like carol singers and musicians singing traditional and modern songs. At approximately 6pm – weather permitting – a very special ‘sky-diving’ guest will be there for the kids with help from the awesome lifesavers from the PBSLSC.

“And we’re also continuing some of the new features we added in 2023, such as a food court, local artisan market for those last-minute Christmas goodies, a jumping castle and a spectacular surprise to conclude the evening, with lots of fun for little and big kids alike. An amazing finale laser show will conclude the evening at 8pm.”

Graham continued, “We’d like to thank our major sponsor Noosa Council, who are once again providing much appreciated support for the event, and a new sponsor The JR Team – Qld Sotheby’s International Realty, Peregian Beach. It’s not too late if you would like to be involved with this event.”

They are requesting a small donation per family to cover the costs of attending the Carols, with a $15 per family contribution which covers all music, entertainment and kid’s activities. Tickets are on sale now at events.humanitix.com/peregian-beach-carols-24.

Come along and celebrate the wonderful community and the spirit of Christmas on Wednesday 18 December, from 3pm in Peregian Park, Peregian Beach.
