Some old favourites and some new features will be on show at the Sunshine Coast’s longest-running Christmas carols.

Attendees have been urged to keep an eye on the sky, in anticipation of a special guest in a red suit, at the Peregian Beach Carols on Wednesday, December 21.

This year’s edition will be the 58th running of the event.

A committed group of local volunteers and events professionals are preparing what they hope will be the best event yet.

The President of the Peregian residents’ association Peregian Family and Friends, Leigh McCready, said it should be a highlight on the region’s event calendar.

“We’re so excited to bring such an iconic event to the community, especially being the longest running carols event on the Coast,” she said.

“We are collaborating with the Peregian Beach Business Association and the newly incorporated Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club to bring the event back to the park and we’d love the whole community to attend.”

“This year’s event is going to have all the old favourites like carol singers, musicians singing traditional and modern songs and of course a very special sky-diving guest will be there for the kids.

“And we’re also continuing some of the new features we added in 2021, such as a local artisan market for those last-minute Christmas goodies, jumping castle and a spectacular laser light show to conclude the evening with lots of surprises in between.”

More than 3000 people attended the event last year.

The Peregian park is a perfect place for carols.

The event has the support of Noosa Council.

“We have been able to keep the cost to attend the carols low, with a $15 per family contribution which covers all rides, entertainment and kid’s activities,” Ms McCready said.

“We want everyone to come along and celebrate our wonderful community and the spirit of Christmas”
