Carols By Candlelight

Lakelands Shopping Centre is decking the halls for a third year running as Perth celebrates Christmas with Carols by Candlelight.

Santa is making an early departure from the North Pole this year as he heads directly for Lakelands Shopping Centre on November 30. The annual festivity sees the whole community invited to Lakelands Town Square to celebrate the start of the silly season.

In addition to the regular singalong with local choirs and musical groups, event guests can roam the twilight market stalls in search of Christmas crafts, get their faces painted and divulge their wishlists to Santa himself.

Our annual Christmas event has become a beautiful tradition within the community. We’re really excited to once again bring a great night of free family fun to Lakelands locals.

Flicker candles will be available for purchase with a gold coin donation, with all funds raised going to Coastal Lakes College. Ornaments will also be available for decoration, which can then be hung on the Lakelands Community Tree, donated by Lattitude Lakelands Hobby Shed.

We spoke to Santa, who said, “Ho, ho ho! I love coming to Lakelands every year and I can’t wait to see all the good little girls and boys once again. Even Santa needs a break, so I’m excited to sing along with some carollers, meet some new faces and enjoy some Christmas cheer before I go back to the North Pole to prepare for Christmas Eve.”

The event will run from 5pm until 8pm on Saturday, November 30. Guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets, chairs and snacks.
