Carols by Candlelight is an annual Australian Christmas tradition that was popularised in Melbourne in 1938.[1] The tradition has since spread around the world. It involves people gathering, usually outdoors in a park, to sing carols by candlelight, featuring live performances by both national and international celebrities accompanied by a symphony orchestra.
