This year's Carols by Candlelight known as 'Carols on the Mountain', will be held at Magic Mountain, Sapphire Coast Drive, Merimbula, on Friday, December 6, commencing at 6pm.

Lions president Phil Hall said it would be an evening of wonderful musical entertainment including both traditional and contemporary carols with many local and talented artists performing.
"It is again a great pleasure for the Lions Club to be involved in this wonderful event that brings so much Christmas cheer and goodwill to our local communities," Mr Hall said.
Santa will be arriving at 5.30pm for a Meet and Greet in the gazebo and will be available for photos and to hand out goodies to the children. Entertainment starts at 6pm and during the evening many different artists will appear.
