BALLARAT Carols by Candlelight<\/a> presented by Harcourts<\/a> will conclude with a bang, plenty of sparkle and big pops of colour.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by Central Square, a finale by Northern Fireworks will top off the evening, dazzling candle wavers during the last song on Sunday, 22 December at City Oval.<\/p>\n

Northern Fireworks\u2019s Matt Batty is the brains behind the Australia Day pyrotechnic display at Lake Wendouree. Reading news of the revitalised Carols, he wanted to help create an \u201cextra special\u201d night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to beat fireworks for entertainment. It really adds something and wraps up the night nicely. People go, \u2018wow,\u2019 and it\u2019s a pinnacle for the evening,\u201d Mr Batty said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve explored some sites, worked together about how we can make it happen and have met with council, going through that whole process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re at the event and looking at the stage, it will be right over the top. I think we\u2019ve got something really good together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Central Square\u2019s Lynden Courtney is thrilled to be spreading the Christmas spirit as a partner.<\/p>\n

The shopping centre is having their own Family Christmas Fest on Saturday, 14 December, featuring performers from Ballarat Carols by Candlelight ahead of the big night.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Christmas Fest will be a great prelude to the Carols, and a chance to win fantastic picnic hampers full of food that you can take along to City Oval on Sunday, 22 December,\u201d Ms Courtney said.<\/p>\n

For Ballarat Carols by Candlelight President, Matt Hustwaite<\/a>, the fireworks add another dimension to a busy performance program.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong with the Kids Carnival and our variety of food vendors, it means locals can really make a full experience of Ballarat Carols by Candlelight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
