The full procession of the nativity story down the middle of the great lawn during the evening, includes real camels and a donkey!
Wyndham Carols by Candlelight is set to return to the Great Lawn of the iconic Werribee Mansion on Saturday, 7 December 2024, for what promises to be a magical evening of music, family fun, carols and community Christmas spirit.
With over 30 years of tradition, this event has grown to become Victoria’s largest Christmas celebration outside of Melbourne’s Christmas Eve concert, having sold out last year with over 5,000 attendees, and 2024 is only building on that momentum.
Headlining this year’s Wyndham carols is the renowned Australian Soprano Silvie Paladino, sharing the stage with the sensational Salvation Army Melbourne Staff Band conducted by the legendary Ken Waterworth, who will be concluding his tenure as Bandmaster for the past 30 years.
The Wyndham Carols by Candlelight is a non-profit event organised by the Wyndham Ministers Network, representing 17 local churches in the Wyndham area, and supported by the Wyndham City Council. Pastor Stan Richey, Chair of the Wyndham Ministers Network, expressed his enthusiasm for this year’s event.
“On behalf of the churches of Wyndham I want to let you know that we love our city, and we want to bless you.
“Many of you have never experienced this, for others, it has a 30-year rich history. We want to invite you to share the Wyndham Carols with us.” Pastor Richey said.
Gates will open earlier this year at 5:00 PM, giving families more time to enjoy pre-show activities, including an expanded selection of food trucks and more extended kids’ activities.
This year’s program will also feature the beloved Nativity Procession which is unique to Wyndham Carols and loved by all. All attendees will be able to see the full procession of nativity story down the middle of the great lawn during the evening, including real camels and a donkey!
