More free festive cheer than you can poke a candy cane at.

Hold on to your (Santa) hats folks because as always, City of Gold Coast has a stellar line-up of carols and festive activities to make the whole family, well, light up like a Christmas tree!

Here’s the lowdown on what’s in store and where to go. Oh and how Rude-olph of us not to mention that everything is free, so there’s plenty of incentive to embrace your inner Christmas loving ‘elf.

MAYOR’S CAROLS

Even if you’re not exactly Delta or Farnsy, we all love belting out a classic festive ditty and the Mayor’s Carols are the perfect opportunity to flex those vocal chords! Bringing Christmas cheer a-plenty to Broadwater Parklands on Saturday 3rd December from 5pm, this year’s all-Aussie line-up will knock your antlers off! We’re talking amazing artists performing tree-mendous renditions of all your favourites,

a kids show for the ankle biters, and of course, an appearance from the jolly man himself. The custard on the plum pudding is an aweinspiring fireworks finale, and it’s flare to say that this will light up our night!

BROADBEACH CHRISTMAS

This Saturday 10th until Sunday 18th of December, you’re invited to experience Broadbeach as you’ve never seen it before! Step inside the Broadbeach Mall, next to The Oasis Shopping Centre, and you’ll find the spectacular Gingerbread Village. Treat yo’elf to free daily activities like bon-bon making, gingerbread decorating, and story time. A perfect school holiday stocking calendar filler, you’d be (Christmas) crackers to miss it!

COOLANGATTA CAROLS

Watch this space! The Cooly Carols are known as one of the best free Christmas carols events in our ‘hood, with families travelling far and wide to be a part of the iconic festivities. Book them in for Sunday 11th December with more details to be released soon!

Starting at 6pm, there’s a singalong with all the Christmas carol faves, led by a stellar line-up of local talent. Kids, keep your eyes peeled for a special appearance by a very popular man, who wears red and rocks a long white beard. You may have heard of him….wink wink. Then at 8pm, get ready for the night to go out with a bang, quite literally, when an epic fireworks display lights up the sky!

And there you have it, the 2022 round-up of our beautiful destination’s free Christmas carol activities.
