People can join in the harmony of the festive season with many free carols events occurring across Geelong this weekend.
Creative Geelong will host karaoke sing-along carolling, live choir singing, free Christmas tree ornament workshops and a Christmas Market during its A Creative Christmas event at Centrepoint Arcade.
Operations manager Luisa La Fornara said the event was a chance for the community to come together to celebrate the holiday season from 5pm on Friday 5 December.
“What is great about A Creative Christmas is the combination of everything coming together, but it’s the people that make it important,” she said.
“Art and music will collide together to create a really nice Christmas celebration…and I’m really looking forward to the karaoke singalong as it will be interesting to see how that rolls out.
“People will be able to make an ornament and put it on our tree, so they can come back throughout the whole month of December to see the tree on display in our front gallery windows.
“What I love about the season personally is people coming together and sharing food, as I’ve got an Italian background, so food and bringing everyone together is what I love most about Christmas.”
Free outdoor carols events will be held by OneHope Baptist Church’s Moolap (Saturday 6 December) and Highton (Sunday 7 December) locations from 5.30pm.
Highton’s South Valley Baptist Church will also host its Christmas on the Hill event from 4pm on Saturday 6 December, and will feature an evening of carols and kids activities.
A Creative Christmas is a free event, but bookings are required for the workshops, with people able to visit eventbrite.com.au/o/creative-geelong-inc-28043893657 to reserve a spot.
