Christmas comes to Warrandyte when the Warrandyte Community Carols are presented at Stiggants Reserve on Saturday 14th December, commencing at 7.00pm. A huge line-up of featured artists will entertain the crowd as the whole community gathers to celebrate the Christmas season.
This year there is something for everybody, ranging from the Warrandyte Primary and Anderson’s Creek Primary Schools to the rousing local Tenor Raymond Khong and the original sounds of the Donvale Christian College Bellringers.
The evening starts with a visit from the Warrandyte CFA bringing with them a very special guest ready to share lollies with all the kids.
The Maroondah Singers & the Eltham Concert Band will kick off the musical proceedings with a medley of Christmas favourites to put us all in the Christmas mood.
The schools then take center stage with choirs packed with smiling faces and plenty of fun to be had by all.
As dusk approaches, we kick back a bit and enjoy some smoother sounds featuring a newcomer to the Carols …. Lucinda Thompson plus the Amore Duet and Stephen Coutts serenading our ear buds.
The Khong family once again has a surprise in store as we then shift to the more traditional part of the evening … the Carols.
We have an amazing selection of singers, Lucinda Thompson, Nadia Migliardi & The Amore Duet who will sing a selection of long-established Christmas Carols including “Silent Night” and “Once in Royal David’s City” that really puts us in the Christmas frame of mind.
And we finish the evening with a rousing set of popular Christmas sing-along classics sung by Warrandyte’s own local legend tenor Raymond Khong culminating in the time-honoured classic “Holy City”.
There is one final surprise guest before the entire cast will send us on our way with a medley of Christmas carols.
Bring your picnic tea, or food and drinks can be purchased onsite from food and drinks vans. EFTPOS donations will also be accepted during the performance for the annual Christmas Bowl Appeal and the Christmas candles.
If it is raining during the day, and bad weather is forecast for the evening, the program will be held the following evening, Sunday 15th December.

Merry Christmas!
