Carols in the Park creative director Jon Mamonski says he is “thrilled to be back” for the massive event.
The annual event has been in hiatus for two years, but Ocean Grove Park will be filled with thousands of people celebrating some early Christmas cheer.
“It’s been two years since we’ve had the carols and we have had a lot of response from people saying they are delighted to be back,” Mr Mamonski said.
“It’s the largest gathering of families and locals in Ocean Grove for the whole year.”
The event kicks off at 7pm on December 11 and gates will open at 5pm to allow for families to grab a snag from the sausage sizzle or a delicious pancake.
Other attractions on the night will be the Geelong Youth Orchestra and the Geelong Harmony Choir.
Get ready to see the local primary schools – Ocean Grove, Surfside and Our Lady Star of the Sea – performing on stage.
There will be all the Carols you love, sung by leading local artists and a special performance by internationally acclaimed The Sweethearts.
Radio personality Mark Hyland is again master of ceremonies.
Thanks to the support of the Ocean Grove Connected Communities, safe LED candles will again be available for $2 each at the entry gates on the night.
Entry is by donation and this year and gate proceeds will go to Feed Me Bellarine.
Locals are also invited to bring an unwrapped gift to put under a giant Christmas tree on the night, which will be distributed to local needy children by Cottage by the Sea.
