Variety Carols by Candlelight

Tolosa Park

Variety Carols by Candlelight is Hobart's much-loved festive tradition, bringing families and friends together for an evening of Christmas music under the stars. Pack a picnic rug, gather your favourite people and enjoy the joyful atmosphere as Matt Ives Big Band and a standout cast of Tasmanian performers from radio, stage and television take to the stage. A special visit from the man in the big red suit will add extra magic to the night. Food vendors and festive merchandise will be available for those who would like to make the evening even brighter. 100% of proceeds support Variety – the Children's Charity Tasmania, to help Tassie kids who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disability to have a future without limits!
