IT’S beginning to sound a lot like Christmas, with Jingle Bells soon ringing through the Queen’s Garden, Shepparton, for the 51st Carols by Candlelight, on Sunday, December 21.
The much-loved Shepparton tradition promises an evening filled with festive cheer, live music, and community celebration of talented local performers, and a visit from Santa Claus and his elves.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, has encouraged everyone to come along and enjoy the festivities.
“Carols by Candlelight is the perfect chance to come together with family and friends and celebrate the festive season. Council is proud to support this wonderful tradition now over 50 years old,” said Cr Sali.
The festivities begin at 6pm with a pre-show from the Shepparton Brass & Wind, followed by an outstanding line-up of talented local performers and special guest from 6.30pm to 9pm.
