A Fun, Free, Family Festivity



Get your Santa hats ready for Warburton’s annual Christmas Carols on December 22.

Taking place at the Warburton Water World, the carols commence at 6pm and conclude at 9:30pm.

Brought to the public by The Warburton Advancement League along with the Yarra Junction and Warburton Community Banks, the carols are open to anyone keen on a generous serving of Christmas spirit.

Blankets, bathers and snacks are also encouraged at this year’s free carols event.

Carols artist and music organiser Chris James said, “it’s a fun, free, family event for everyone to come and celebrate Christmas together.”

Attendees can expect an array of performances from choirs and ensembles to circus activities and dr Jazz. A special guest aerial circus performance will also feature among the festivities.

Pizza and a sausage sizzle will also be available on the night.

Prepare the little ones for the arrival of Santa at 7:45pm. Mr Claus himself will be handing out lollies until 8pm.

Chris said, “we had a really amazing rehearsal the other night and it is sounding really soul filled.”

“I’m very excited about the night. There’s lots of kids activities as well as carols for everyone to sing along to,” Chris said.
