The Yarra Junction Community Group warmly invites everyone to a joyful evening of music, family activities and festive cheer at this year’s Community Carols.
Bring your picnic rug, chairs and dinner and settle in from 5.30pm at the picnic area at the Yarra Centre, Yarra Junction.
Children can enjoy free Christmas craft activities and face painting, and the Yarra Centre canteen will be open throughout the evening.
The YJ Rotary Club will also be firing up the barbecue, selling sausages as a fundraiser—plus every child will receive one free sausage, with vouchers available at the gate.
At 6.30pm, the entertainment begins on the outdoor stage, hosted by two fantastic MCs from the Yarra Junction Community Group. Audiences will be treated to performances by choirs from Saint Joseph’s Primary School and Yarra Junction Primary School, followed by talented local musicians including Georgia Page, Ben Wynne, and Geoff Wood. A lively five-piece brass band will add to the festive spirit.
A Yarra Junction Community Choir, formed especially for the event, has been having a lot of fun rehearsing and will lead the community in carol singing. The evening will conclude with a show-stopping finale featuring the choir and brass band together.
If the weather is unsuitable for an outdoor event, all activities will move inside to the basketball stadium at the Yarra Centre.
This is the second community carols hosted by the Yarra Junction Community Group and it promises to be the best one yet.
With a dedicated garage sale fundraiser in November on top of grant funding, the Yarra Junction Community Group have well and truly gone all out for this year’s celebration.
This free community celebration promises fun, music and festive energy for all ages. We look forward to welcoming everyone from Yarra Junction and surrounding areas for a wonderful night of Christmas spirit.
