Carols by Candlelight
π About This Tradition
Australians celebrate Christmas in summer with outdoor carol singing events called 'Carols by Candlelight.' Thousands gather in parks with candles, picnic blankets, and festive food to sing traditional carols under the stars. The tradition started in Melbourne in 1938 and is now held nationwide. Christmas lunch is often a beach barbecue!
