THERE’S nothing like a Christmas singalong to get you in the festive mood, so here’s a rundown of all the carol services in Voiceland.

Bayswater will be holding CAROLS BY THE RIVER at Riverside Gardens from 5pm-9pm today (Saturday December 14).

Accompanied by the WA Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Providence Bayswater Choir will sing yuletide songs, and party band The Christmas Special will have the crowd rocking around the Christmas tree with jazzy renditions of festive classics.

The free event includes market stalls, rides, craft activities, face painting and a visit from the big man himself – Santa.

“Pack your very own picnic to enjoy under the stars or purchase a delicious dinner from one of the onsite food vendors,” says Baysy mayor Filomena Piffaretti.

In Stirling, CAROLS AT SCARBOROUGH will be held tomorrow (Sunday December 15) at the Scarborough Amphitheatre on The Esplanade from 6pm-8:30pm.

The sunset carol service will include a special visit from Santa (this bloke gets about) and a stunning fireworks display over the beach.

So pack a picnic, grab a candle and carols book, and enjoy the event, which supports Neuromuscular WA.

In Vincent, CAROLS IN THE PARK will be held at Hyde Park tomorrow (Sunday December 15) from 5pm-7:30pm.

Organised by The Salvation Army, the free event will feature carols by the Perth Fortress Brass Band with kids activities and a coffee van (bring your own your picnic).

The biggest event will no doubt be CAROLS IN THE CITY at Supreme Court Gardens from 6:30pm-9:30pm on December 21.

Grab a picnic spot on the grass and watch a variety of performers belt out Xmas classics on the huge stage.

There’s fun activities for the family and a wide range of food trucks on-site.

The concert will end with a fireworks display and you guessed it – a visit from Santa.

If you live in Maylands, there will be CHRISTMAS CAROLS at St Luke’s Anglican Church tomorrow (Sunday December 15) from 5pm-7pm, and Morley Baptist Church will be holding their service from 5pm-9pm at 33 Hanwell Way in Bassendean.

If you fancy something a bit more quiet and atmospheric, CANDLELIGHT: A NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS CLASSICS is on at Perth Town Hall from December 20-27.

With the stage adorned with hundreds of lit candles, creating an intimate atmosphere, the classical Dolce Ensemble will perform a series of festive classics including Happy Xmas (War Is Over), Frosty The Snowman, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, O Holy Night, White Christmas and All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The little ones will love ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS at Perth Town Hall today (Saturday December 14), a Christmas fairytale featuring the music of Disney and carols.

If you get your Voice early, then check out the CAROLS BY THE SEA at City Beach Amphitheatre on Friday December 13 at 18:30pm.

And this weekend there will be EXPERIENCE CHRISTMAS at Government House on St Georges Terrace in Perth.

The Joondalup Symphony Orchestra will perform a range of classic Christmas carols including Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and Jingle Bells from 5:30pm on the lower lawns.

There will be kids activities and a massive range of cuisine at the Consular Corps World of Food festival, or bring your own picnic. You can also do a tour of the historic Government House. The event is on from 3pm-7pm on Saturday and Sunday.
