Now in its 20th year and a very popular annual highlight for the Hills community, Carols on the Mountain is back in 2024.
Held in the open at the Ferny Creek Recreation Reserve in Hilton Rd, Sassafras, the event this year is on Saturday 14 December. Gates open at 6pm, with Carols starting at 7pm.
Performers include a great lineup of local choirs, school show bands, local dance groups and students from the local primary schools.
The barbecue will be fired up, with sausages, hamburgers and veggie burgers available at modest prices. Cold drinks will also be available, along with a coffee van to keep the grown-ups caffeinated.
The Sassafras-Ferny Creek CFA Community Safety team will also be there to field questions you might have about the upcoming fire danger period.
As always, Santa will be arriving on the fire truck in plenty of time (a little earlier this year), so little ones will be able to get home to sleep off all the excitement.
Free parking is available in the Ferny Creek Horticultural Society gardens, so just follow directions from the event organisers.
This is a community event brought to you by the Sassafras Ferny Creek CFA, so your gold-coin donation at the entry gates would be greatly appreciated in support of the brigade.
A booklet with the full program of carols will also be available for sale.
The brigade would like to acknowledge our major event sponsors, which include Dine Divine, Bendigo Bank, Code 1 Services, ISA Building & Construction, Ranges First National Real Estate, the Ferny Creek Horticultural Society, Discount Animal Supplies Lysterfield, Bell Real Estate, Arthur Daleys FTG, Fletchers Real Estate, Dandenong Ranges RSL, McLean Sound, Willis Conveyancing and Daniela De Martino MP.
Carols on the Mountain is on Saturday 14 December from 7pm – gates open at 6pm at the Ferny Creek Recreation Reserve with a gold coin entry.
