Festive fun at Minda Community Christmas Carols and Markets

Get ready for a festive celebration! The annual Minda Community Christmas Carols and Markets event is set to spread some holiday cheer on Saturday, 7 December.

After a three-year absence, 2023 saw the event return stronger than ever with more than 5000 gathering at Minda’s North Brighton site for a colourful and exciting day of food trucks, rides and amusements, a petting zoo and a visit from Santa and Mrs Claus.

This year, the event is expected to attract an even larger crowd with more live music and entertainment, more market stalls, more rides and more food trucks!

The event has been extended to 12pm–7pm and will be hosted by MCs Rosalie Panetta (12pm–4pm) and Andy Martin (4pm–7pm).

Minda Chief Executive David Panter says after a long year, it’s time to reconnect and celebrate the spirit of the season.

“Our Christmas Carols is a much-anticipated event for our staff, volunteers, and the people we support as well as the wider community. We’re thrilled to share this special moment with everyone and grateful for the opportunity to come together during this festive season,” he says.

Eventgoers can enjoy performances from 10th/27th Battalion Royal SA Regiment, Australian Girls’ Choir, Australian Military Wives Choir, City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band, Tutti Arts and more.
