The Bob Pettit Reserve is located at 89 Sunset Strip, Jan Juc.<\/p>\n<p>Those looking for a Christmas fix before Wednesday\u2019s performance, should attend the Carols by the Sea this Saturday night.

Carols by the Sea will be held at The Elephant Walk, The Esplanade in Torquay on Saturday, December 16 at 7.30pm, with pre-entertainment from 6.45pm.<\/p>\n<p>See Eyeing the Weekend, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/living\/eyeing-weekend-december-14-2017\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE colourful and musically adventurous Jan Juc-based Bonnie Upwelling Choir will be performing on December 20 at 6pm at the Bob Pettit Reserve.
