Community events - Carols by Candlelight
Carols by Candlelight holds a special place in the hearts of most Australians as these unique events brings families together to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas
The inspiration for Carols by Candlelight came in Melbourne in Christmas 1937. Radio veteran Norman Banks MBE while walking home, noticed an elderly lady sitting by her window, her face lit up by a candle as she listened and sang along to Christmas carols on the radio. He was inspired to organise the first gathering of people to sing Carols by Candlelight.
Carols by Candlelight is now held every year in the week before Christmas, when hundreds of people gather at the Cardinia Cultural Centre to sing their favorite Christmas carols.
