PUBLIC STATEMENT – Hervey Bay Carols by Candlelight 2024
After carefully reviewing the weekend weather forecast, which predicts possible storms, heavy rainfall, and strong winds, we’ve made the tough decision to move this year’s Hervey Bay Carols by Candlelight to a new indoor venue so we can continue in some form.
New Location: Hervey Bay Baptist Church, Nikenbah
Two Shows at 4:00pm & 6:30pm so we can have as many people as possible.
We’ve worked hard to keep the event as close as possible to what we had planned. Both shows will feature the same amazing program, the same high-quality production gear, and of course, all the Christmas spirit you love! Plus, there will still be some food vendors, drink & dessert vendors and candles to purchase. There is parking onsite but we encourage you to carpool where possible. We encourage you to arrive 45 minutes before your showtime to support the vendors and the doors to the auditorium will then open 30 minutes before the showtime.
This decision wasn’t made lightly, but the safety of our community and crew is our top priority. We’re excited to still bring you an incredible Carols experience in a safe and cozy indoor setting.
Let’s come together and celebrate the season with music, laughter, and joy! The
Active Agents Fireworks will also still go ahead at the new location after the 6:30pm Show.
If you’ve already made plans to attend, be sure to grab your tickets now as seats are limited to 1,000 per show. The 6:30pm Show will be live streamed, more information to follow.
Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to see you there! We hope you will still come along and support our team who has been working incredibly hard behind the scenes
Warm regards,
Luke and The Hervey Bay Carols by Candlelight Team
