Carols by Candlelight nominated for a Logie!
We are over the moon to hear that Australia’s favourite Christmas show has received its first Logie nomination.
The dedication, passion, and talent that every single producer, performer, and staff member from Channel 9, Arts Centre Melbourne and all our partners bring to our show mean the absolute world to Vision Australia, our youngest clients, and their families.
And to our loyal attendees, both new and lifelong, and all of those who tune in from home, thank you for keeping the tradition of Carols by Candlelight alive.

86 years of Christmas joy
On 24 December each year, Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl lights up as families and friends gather to celebrate the festive season while raising funds for Vision Australia's children's services.
From humble beginnings in 1938 with a 30-strong choir, two solo performers and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Band performing at midnight, Carols by Candlelight has grown into an institution of Christmas magic.
Vision Australia's Santa Fun Run is back!
Save the date! Join hundreds of Santas this November for a festive run, walk, jog or roll. This family-friendly event raises funds for children's services at Vision Australia contributing to the magical Carols by Candlelight event, helping kids who are blind or have low vision live the life they choose.
