Get into the Christmas spirit and support a great cause at the annual Carols By Candlelight Christmas Eve event in Melbourne for 2021!

Carols by Candlelight, Melbourne 2020

Carols by Candlelight is an annual Christmas concert and fundraiser for Vision Australia’s children’s services. This magical evening has been an iconic Melbourne event since 1938 and is broadcast live on Channel 9, 3AW radio and Vision Australia Radio.

Every year various performers grace the stage singing and performing Christmas carols in a spectacular show that can’t be missed.

Because of recent events during 2020, Carols by Candlelight went ahead in front of an empty Sidney Myer Music Bowl. It was the 84th year of the Christmas Eve event and the first time it was staged without a live audience.

For 2021, things are looking up, and we are hoping that Melbourne will be able to again host another Carols by Candlelight event in front of an audience.

Special Guest Performers

Over the years this Christmas event has hosted various famous guests including favourites such as Denis Walter, Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino, David Hobson, John Farnham, Debra Byrne,  Delta Goodrem, James Morrison, Guy Sebastian, Hi-5 and Anthony Callea.

More than 10,000 people attend each year and Channel 9 will broadcast the whole show live from 8pm AEST on Christmas Eve, as well as a replay on Christmas Day.
