Carols in the Park returns

Ocean Grove Park will break out in Christmas cheer once again with the return of Carols in the Park.

The musical event of the season will start at 7pm on Sunday, December 10, and feature performances from many solo and group carollers, along with food and drinks.

Artistic director Jon Mamonski OAM said he expected close to 3000 people to attend the carols and that he looked forward to seeing people singing their “heart out”.

“We do a printed programme that we circulate, and everyone gets a chance to sing, which is great,” he said.

The concert’s lineup includes Nick Adderson, Sally-Anne Cowdell, Jess Senftleben, Kristin Symes, Stellar music group, the Sweethearts, and the and only Santa Claus.

“We’ve got a 30-piece orchestra called the Carols Orchestra, the Geelong Harmony Choir and different solo artists,” Mr Mamonski said.

“All the primary schools are also involved, including Ocean Grove Primary, Surfside Primary, and Our Lady Star of the Sea Primary.

“The Sweethearts are a terrific draw card because they’re very busy, international, and all over the world these days, so we’re delighted to have them.”

The event will also include local radio personality Mike Hyland as the master of ceremonies (MC). Entry is by cash donation, with all gate proceeds going towards Feed Me Bellarine.

Catch the annual Ocean Grove Carols in the Park from 7pm at Ocean Grove Park on Sunday, December 10.
