Carols By The Bay
Every Christmas, the Hobart City Council conducts Carols by the Bay at Sandown Park, Sandy Bay. This event attracts a crowd of around 12 – 15,000 people.
2010 will see Jay Laga’aia (Water Rats, Play School, Home and Away, Bed of Roses etc) as MC and performer, while former Australian Idol winner Damien Leith, will be the main entertainer.
As “charity of choice” at Carols, Variety sells programs, candles, glow products and a range of merchandise, raising thousands of dollars to help Tasmanian children in need.
Would you like to help out? We need many volunteers on the night to either man the entrances or work in the Variety marquee. Just call the Variety office on (03) 6223 1886.

This year’s event promises to be the biggest yet with nationally renowned performers Damien Leith and Jay Laga’aia taking the stage. They will be joined by tween singing sensation Straalen McCallum and a host of local choirs, musicians and performers.
2010 marks the 61st anniversary of the Carols by Candlelight event in Hobart. In its current format, Carols by the Bay is recognised as one of the state’s biggest community events, attracting thousands of patrons annually. The Hobart City Council is committed to developing Carols by the Bay into one of the highest quality Christmas events in Tasmania.
