Carols by Candlelight
Many thousands of Cantabrians and visitors to Christchurch have been involved in the joy and spirit of the Christchurch YMCA Carols by Candlelight event that has been held every Christmas Eve in Victoria Square.
2009 will the see the 62nd Carols By Candlelight since it was first started in 1947.
Carols by Candlelight is a unique event that encourages people to get together and celebrate family and Christmas in a traditional and magical manner. It is the only Christmas Eve event of it's kind in Christchurch and indeed for New Zealand - as it lacks any commercial agenda.
Bringing together all faiths, age groups and cultures Carols by Candlelight is a true celebration of family, of Christmas and of community spirit.
Join us from 9-10pm for this free event in Victoria Square - bring a picnic, a blanket, your children and parents. (If wet the venue will be Cathedral Square)
