Nothing says Christmas like the joyous sounds of carols sung together with family and friends by candlelight. If you love singing your heart out to Christmas Carols, there are some great free community events to attend throughout December.
Here is the Coffs Coast guide to this year’s events being held in the lead up to Christmas.
Remember to pack your blankets, chairs and your best singing voice!

The fun-filled evening will feature a fantastic line up of local performers! Santa will pay a visit and to top it all off, the show will finish with a bang thanks to the fireworks display grand finale!
