Carols by the Sea

Carols by the Sea is an annual community event that invites all to celebrate the festive season. It offers a unique way to share the Christmas cheer through song in seaside locations in and around Sydney.

In the past, the events have taken place at Bondi Beach, Coogee Beach, and Woolgoolga Beach.

The one-night-only event in early December features live and choir performances of Christmas classics, carolling, and kids’ entertainment. Past performances have featured the Australian Children’s Choir, the Bondi Community Choir, the Eastern Suburbs Chamber Choir, Kale & the Krissi Smoothies, Bondi Dance Company, and the Primary School Rock Stars.

Attendees are invited to sing along with the performers; song sheets will be distributed during the event. The event is open to all, and there is no need to register beforehand. Most of the shows will be free, but the payments for activities such as crafts and face painting will be donated to charities.

Carols by the Sea is an outdoors eve taking place around 4pm onwards; for the most enjoyable experience, bring along a rug or cushion to sit on as you enjoy the carols with friends and family.
