Bass Coast Carols Are ComingFrom 4 December, Bass Coast will be a-carolling, with the first of five carols events in local townships. By Bass Coast - 28th November 2011 - Back to News Frank Angarane, Bass Coast Shire Council’s Events Coordinator, said that it’s hard to believe that our first carols celebration is just around the corner.
"Our Carols by Candlelight season kicks off on 4 December at Grantville Memorial Park, and then the following week there are carols on the San Remo Foreshore," said Mr Angarane.
"The week after that, Wonthaggi, Cowes and Inverloch join the celebrations. Family entertainment and a fireworks display are part of the Carols by the Bay celebrations at Cowes.
"The fireworks at this event replace the traditional community fireworks at New Year’s Eve at Cowes," explained Mr Angarne.
Make a date for Carols
- 4 December 6.00pm - Grantville Memorial Park
- 15 December (time to be announced) - San Remo Foreshore
- 18 December 6.30pm – Wishart Reserve, Wonthaggi
- 20 December 5.00pm – Cowes Ampitheatre, Erehwon Point
- 21 December 7.00pm – Inverloch Community Hub
Mr Angarane said the events are for each local community to get into the spirit of Christmas, together with family and friends.
"Children get to see Santa at some of the carols events, and they really enjoy the special atmosphere as night falls and candles light up the crowd. Many people make a night of it by bringing a picnic, and you can also buy food at each event," continued Mr Angarane.
"I do want to remind people that these are family celebrations, and are alcohol-free events. We also want people to ‘enjoy it, don’t spoil it’; respect the local environment and dispose of your rubbish thoughtfully."
Mr Angarane made a plea that all those going to the carols nights drive safely. These are popular events and local roads may become congested. People need to take care, be patient, obey any special traffic signs, and watch for pedestrians especially when leaving the event."
