Griffith residents will lift their voices in song together this Saturday, 10 December when the Griffith Carols by Candlelight 2022 is held in the Burley Griffin Community Gardens. Curated by Musical Director and Griffith City Councillor, Jenny Ellis, Griffith Carols by Candlelight will feature all your favourite local musicians with a set list designed to delight the crowd.
Event Organiser Julie Andreazza is encouraging locals and visitors to bring the whole family along, and enjoy the festive spirit in beautiful surroundings.
“I am thrilled that we will be holding this event again and that we can take advantage of the incredible new stage at the Community Gardens to showcase our talented performers,” Mrs Andreazza said.
“Councillor Ellis has worked very hard behind the scenes to put together this incredible program and I know everyone will have a wonderful time with fam ily and friends, in a very picturesque and festive environment.”
Councillor Ellis said she was excited to be working on the program and is looking forward to Carols being held at the new location.
“This year will see the return of the combined primary school choir, which features students from 7 participating schools which is the largest number ever involved at Carols,” said Councillor Ellis.
“Schools featured include Lake Wyangan Public School, Griffith North Public School, Griffith Public School, Griffith East Public School, St Patrick’s Primary School, Hanwood Public School AND Verity Christian College. I am really excited that we could feature these local school children who have worked so hard and I know they will wow the crowd!”
“In addition we have a wonderful program compiled which will see local favourites and some new performers take to the stage – it will be a night not to be missed,” added Councillor Ellis.
Performers include Teneeka Andreazza, Laura Tarbit, Hannah King, Maika Ravitu, Rosanne Jones, James Walsh, Charlotte Finlayson, The Lolohea Bro’s, Wrong Direction and Councillors Jenny Ellis and Shari Blumer and more.
There will be children’s activities by Fusion Riverina, a visit by Santa and food and drinks available from Peeches Coffee, BBQ from Rotary Club Griffith Avanti, and Mrs Whippy will be on hand to keep you cool with ice-cream.
“Children are encouraged to come along dressed up in a nativity costume – there may even be an opportunity to present their costumes on stage during the evening,” said Mrs Andreazza.
“I invite you to bring chairs or a picnic rug as seating is not provided at the Community Gardens, and Council will have mosquito spray on hand to keep you protected”.
Carols by Candlelight 2022 will be held in the Burley Griffith Community Gardens, Saturday 10 December from 6.30pm.
