This Christmas Eve, Sidney Myer Music Bowl lights up for another magical evening of Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight.
A cherished tradition, this joyous event features live performances from an incredible lineup of ARIA-winning artists, choirs, musical theatre casts, comedians, children’s entertainers and more. All proceeds support kids who are blind or have low vision by providing vital funding for Vision Australia’s specialist children's services.
Don’t miss your chance to support a great cause and share the magic in person as Australia’s favourite performers bring the joy and wonder of the season to life.
If you can’t make it on Christmas Eve, bring your family and friends for a preview of the big event as performers rehearse on stage on December 23. Please be aware that tickets are discounted for the performance on December 23 as it is not a dress rehearsal and there may be sound checks and breaks throughout the performance.
Presented by Specsavers.
