Hampton Park Carols by Candlelight spreads cheer

Hampton Park embraced its 23rd Annual Carols by Candlelight at Cairns Road Reserve on Friday 15 December.

Hosted by Aspire Church, the event featured country rock singer and songwriter Kaitlyn Thomas, and many local performers, with over 12,000 residents joining the festive cheer.

Fireworks lightened up the sky and wrapped up the celebration towards the end of the night.

Aspire Church Pastor Julie Shand said the Carols by Candlelight had been a gift to the Hampton Park community for 23 years.

“It has become a community tradition that many families look forward to each Christmas,” she said.

Pastor Graham Shand thanked volunteers, supporters, performers, and the community for celebrating with the church.

“Seeing Hampton Park unite in harmony each year is truly a blessing,” he said.

Over 100 volunteers were involved in the event.

The event is supported by Hampton Park Progress Association, City of Casey, Harvest Realty, Grill’d Casey Central, and Lions Club of Casey.
