Join the Carols by the Lake
The 23rd Carols by the Lake will be held on December 8 at the Toronto Foreshore. From 5.30pm Blackalls Park School Band will play as everyone arrives for a traditional carols evening culminating at 9pm with Fireworks over Toronto Bay.
Hear the children from Coal Point and Teralba Public School along with local Lake Macquarie Talent such as new talent Rosie and Jack from Swansea, Just Friends, Sandy Louise and Anna Weatherup. A special appearance by the Peace Angels will help the audience really get into the spirit of the season.
MC Stephen Clarke, everyones’ favourite Town Crier, will entertain with stories and commentary throughout the evening and Santa will make an appearance on stage around 8.30pm.
The finale of the evening will be performed by the Lake Macquarie Pipe Band to herald in and accompany the fireworks spectacular at 9pm.
Sit back and listen to music in the Park
Fridays will feature music in the park, from 6pm to 9.30pm. Friday Dec 15, 22 and 28 will feature various local performances on the Rotunda stage and caroling and busking throughout the CBD.
Listen to local talent with a great variety of Festive music to celebrate the season and enjoy some great food from local restaurants and cafes.
With the Streetscape almost complete the town is proving to be both a convenient and pleasant place to spend a few hours shopping and enjoying the lakefront aspect.
Without the generous contributions of local businesses and major sponsors in the region, the festival would not be possible.
