There’s nothing that puts us in the Christmas spirit like Christmas Carols. We are so lucky to have some amazing Brisbane Christmas events each year. Our river city’s balmy nights make the perfect conditions for live carols by candlelight Brisbane.

There are lots of community Christmas carols in Brisbane that double as fund raisers for great causes. Some have fireworks and most have a visit from the Santa himself. There are usually food and drink options but we urge you to check website details so you can go prepared. You may be able to pick up a one-of-a-kind gift at Brisbane Christmas markets attached to the carol event too.
We have put together a list of the biggest Brisbane carols for you to plan. Let us know of any we have missed!
