Carols by Candlelight

Carols by CandlelightEach year, Maroondah residents are treated to an evening of festive celebrations at Maroondah Secondary College Oval in Croydon.

This free event is a great way to spend some time with family and friends and enjoy the wonderful Christmas atmosphere. Make sure you pack a picnic rug, wear your most outrageous Christmas fashion and bring along your best singing voice!
