Carols in the Park 2026

Join us for a magical evening of Christmas carols at the Town of Claremont's Carol in the Park event for 2026. 

Please note the new starting time: Picnicking from 6pm with the carols beginning at 7pm with Perth Symphony Orchestra. 

This year, the Perth Symphony Orchestra will be joined by the Search for a Star winners who will join them in leading some carols. 

This is a free event for our entire community to enjoy. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Be part of the solution 

Look out for our waste stations throughout the event. Rather than using traditional bins, we encourage you to bring your waste to our friendly waste team who will help sort it into the correct streams for recycling, composting and disposal. 

You can also: 

• Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it for free 
• Recycle your 10c containers to support Good Sammy
• Bring a low-waste picnic and avoid single-use plastics where possible 

Together, we can make a big difference and help keep Carols in the Park a sustainable community event. 

A digital copy of the lyric book will be up soon.

Lost children wristbands 

If you are concerned about losing your child/children at the event, please visit the Town of Claremont marquee to collect a lost children wristband. 

A staff member at the marquee will provide you with a yellow wristband on which you can write your mobile number in case your child gets lost and show you how to attach it to your child's wrist or bag. 

These free wristbands aim to help prevent delays in uniting found children.
