Hume decks the halls

Christmas spirit will fill the air in Craigieburn as one of Hume’s most anticipated festive events of the year returns to Anzac Park on Saturday 6 December.

Hume’s Carols by Candlelight promises a dazzling evening of music, community and Christmas joy as it invites Australian entertainment icon Rhonda Burchmore to the stage as headline for the event.

Burchmore brings more than four decades of stage experience and a glittering history of performing at some of the nation’s biggest carols events to Hume.

But it doesn’t end there – Burchmore will be joined by an impressive line-up of performers in AYDAN, DanceXclusive, Divine Divas Show Choir, Eamonn Conor, Emily Daye, Rance Lazarus and the Willmott Park Primary School Choir and Ukulele Group.

Under the musical direction of Garth Ploog and his nine-piece band, the event promises a night of sing-along classics and heartwarming community spirit.

The festivities don’t just stop there, residents can enjoy DIY Christmas crafting, library storytimes, gingerbread making, and letters to Santa, plus a local neighbourhood celebration at Westmeadows Reserve on Friday, December 12 from 6pm, hosted by local MC Steve Tabone.

Hume’s Carols by Candlelight is free for all-ages, promising a jam-packed night of fun and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.
