Christmas Carols in the Park

Country music star and local resident Tara Naysmith returns to the Carols stage in 2023 as our host. Santa’s Little Helpers – a 14-piece big band comprised of talented musicians from across the Hunter – are also back for another year of musical magic under the guidance of Musical Director Greg Paterson.

Of course, the night would not be complete without a visit from the man himself; and, as in years past, the night will culminate in a spectacular fireworks display that is sure to delight and amaze. A selection of food trucks will be on hand to help feed the hungry masses, and for those keen to get a jump on their Christmas shopping there’ll be markets stalls stocked with gift ideas, all expertly curated by Hunter Events Group.

Gates open at 5pm with the Carols performances from 6:30pm, followed by fireworks from 9pm. Pack a picnic rug, head down to Cessnock Sportsground and join us in making this a truly wonderful community event.

Please note that Carols in the Park 2023 is strictly an alcohol-free event.
