Holiday cheer

The Gisborne community is spreading Christmas cheer at the annual Community Carols.

The festive favourite event will bring plenty of fun to Dixon Field.

Gisborne Community Carols committee chair Bronwyn Tacey welcomed the community to come on down to enjoy a fun night out, with plenty of performers planned and a special visit from Santa to end the night.

She said while they are only a small committee, they make sure they do all they can to bring festivities back into Gisborne.

“We’re only a small committee of three people, and we decided that when the Church of Christ stopped doing it, (we decided) it needed to continue,” she said.

“It’s a great community event.”

This year, the Gisborne Singers will be taking the stage, alongside Global Village Learning, St Bridget’ s Primary School, Gisborne Primary School, Sacred Heart College, as well as the Young Voices of Macedon.

The Gisborne Dance Academy will also perform.

On the night, the 2025 Local Hero Award will also be announced.

“People in the community nominate members of the community that have given their time to volunteer for our community,” Ms Tacey said.

“This year we actually got six nominations, which was amazing.”

Ms Tacey encouraged the community to come on down, bring a chair or a picnic blanket, and enjoy a night listening to all of your favourite Christmas songs.

The Gisborne Community Carols will be held on Sunday 7 December from 6pm to 9.30pm at Dixon Field.
