Celebrate the magic of the festive season at Carols by Candlelight, returning to the Pilbeam Theatre on 11 and 12 December as part of the Christmas Starts Here Event Trail.

This much-loved annual tradition brings the community together for two heartwarming evenings filled with Christmas cheer, featuring talented local performers, musicians and all your favourite festive songs. Audiences can enjoy a joyful mix of classic Christmas carols and seasonal favourites in a celebration that captures the warmth, wonder and spirit of Christmas.

More than just a festive concert, Carols by Candlelight is an opportunity to give back to the community. Proceeds from both performances will support our 2026 charity recipient. 

Whether you're continuing a family tradition or attending for the first time, Carols by Candlelight offers a memorable way to celebrate the season with family and friends while supporting an important local cause.

Book your tickets and be part of one of the Rockhampton Region's most cherished Christmas traditions.

Proudly supported by media partners WIN Television, CQ Today and Triple M.
