The Peppermint Grove Carols by Candlelight committee, together with the Shire of Peppermint Grove, invite you and your families to join them for the annual Carols by Candlelight event at Manners Hill Park on Sunday 13 December 2020. Led by the Mighty Camelot Choir and Salvation Army Band, this proves to be a very successful Peppermint Grove event each year. As has been the tradition for over 30 years, the Salvation Army gives all proceeds from the night to the Balga Early Learning Centre who in turn uses these funds to support those families in desperate need of assistance. Along with EFTPOS donations, toys and non-perishable food items are very much appreciated. A fantastic raffle will be held on the night. Bring your picnic rug, your best singing voice, your family and neighbours, and enjoy the true spirit of Christmas this night brings.
