The Kingaroy Community Carols were as big as ever on Sunday night … with families on folding chairs and blankets filling the Glendon Street forecourt.
The traditional gathering, organised by the Kingaroy and District Ministers Association, is an interdenominational celebration of the birth of Jesus.
Classical music set the scene as the sun set before performances by the Kingaroy State High School stage band, Sing Australia and the South Burnett Youth Choir.
The large crowd, many waving glow sticks, were encouraged to join in with the traditional Christmas hymns.
“Mary”, “Joseph” and the “baby Jesus” also put in a special appearance.
The evening, which was compered by Pastor Cameron Rub from the Highway Christian Church, was a fundraiser to support local school chaplaincy programs.
Christmas carols also feature on the events calendar for other towns around the region.
Nanango’s event was also held on Sunday night. Wondai’s will be on December 11 and Blackbutt on December 22.
For all Christmas events, see our Major Events calendar.
