Celebrate Christmas with beachside singalong

The popular Carols by the Beach brings friends, families, kids and folks who want to sit by the ocean and share the Christmas spirit together as the sun goes down over the ocean.

Carollers and attendees are invited to bring their best (or worst, trying to be the best) singing voices and join in or just listen and enjoy the music.

There will be a few musicians and singers leading the carols with some readings, and expressions of thanksgiving and praise. Even though this is a low-key event, robust keys have been chosen for the carols and piano keys will be filling out the accompaniment.

Lyric sheets will be provided and the White Elephant Café will be open for coffee and snacks.

Carols at the beach has happened for several years and it has been a beautiful way kick off Christmas celebrations for locals as well as visitors.

Come along on 24th December starting at 6.30pm. Parking is limited.

Catch the big man in red on December 22 as he makes a quick stop in Margaret River ahead of Christmas. The Village at Margs shopping centre will host their Community Christmas Day from 10am to 2pm.

The day will feature a range of activities and entertainment, including face painting, balloon art and of course, a visit from Santa Claus.

Margs Cafe within the Village complex is also collecting gifts and donations for the Margaret River Community Centre Christmas appeal.

Gifts and donations may be placed under the Christmas tree at the cafe during opening hours.
