This Christmas Eve, Sidney Myer Music Bowl will light up for another magical evening of Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight, presented by AAMI.
A cherished tradition, this joyous event will feature live performances from an incredible line-up of ARIA-winning artists, choirs, musical theatre casts, comedians, children’s entertainers and more. All proceeds support kids who are blind or have low vision by providing vital funding for Vision Australia’s specialist children’s services. Don’t miss your chance to support a great cause and share the magic in person as Australia’s favourite performers bring the joy and wonder of the season to life.
