It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas, as people across the Parramatta Local Government Area (LGA) get ready to celebrate the festive season with carols.
Parramatta will be carolling all the way to December 25, with Christmas Carol festivities set to take place across the city. Check out some of the events below:
Carols on Ringrose
Wenty Leagues is once again bringing Christmas cheer to Wentworthville, with its annual Carols on Ringrose event to be held on Tuesday, December 12, from 6pm at Ringrose Oval.
This year’s event is not to be missed, with a raft of popular celebrity performers, including headline acts Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends, as well as TV and stage superstar Todd McKenney.
Alongside performances from Bust-a-move School of Moden Dance and Sydney Youth Musical Theatre Company, this year’s Carols on Ringrose will once again be hosted by radio personality, Anthony Maroon.
The free community family event will feature live music, amusement rides, food trucks, and of course Santa Claus himself, with the event concluding with a Fireworks finale in celebration of Christmas.
Guests are invited to bring their picnic blanket and find their place on the oval to take in the festivities.
All proceeds raised from the event go directly to Youth off the Streets, to assist in the operation of its vital programs for youth facing difficult challenges and circumstances. Entry onto Ringrose Oval is via a gold coin donation for all attendees.
Wenty Leagues CEO Glenn Kovacs said the club is proud to put on the event once again for the members of the community.
“This year the event hosts a massive line up of entertainment that has something for the whole family, including our traditional fireworks display,” he said.
