A calendar highlight and a wonderful way to see in the Christmas season, the Springfield “Night of Light” Carols returns early next month.
Taking place at The Circle at Robelle Domain on Saturday evening, December 9, the Springfield Carols is organised by a committee of community representatives and church members – predominantly the Greater Springfield Combined Churches (GSCC).
According to lead organiser John van Bennekom, who is a pastor at the Springfield Christian Family church, the Robelle Domain parklands provides the ideal “under the stars” venue.
“The starry sky above provides a magnificent backdrop to the choreographed fireworks extravaganza that brings a crescendo to a program full of carols, dancers, Santa, soloists, and so much more,” Pastor John said.
“It has become a Christmas tradition for many families to bring their picnic rug – and their best voices – and join their friends and neighbours on the beautiful lawns for this annual celebration of Christmas.
“We welcome back Carols favourites Tim McCallum, Paris Morgan, and Jazz Morrison – while introducing a whole new cast of performers to sing-and-dance us through the night.”
The top-of-stage big screen gives a front-row view for audiences right across The Circle, John explained.
“The variety of food providers ensures you won’t go hungry,” he added.
And the multi-coloured flashy fun of Glow products will be available from nearby stands.
“It’s a night that will long bring joy to every heart, young and old,” John said.
