Ocean Grove - Carols in the Park

17/12/2025

We’re starting to look ahead to Carols in the Park 2026 and are on the lookout for new volunteers - because quite simply, this event doesn’t happen without the help of our community.

If you have skills or experience in any of the following areas, we’d love to hear from you:
• Event management
• Finance
• Sponsorship & partnerships
• Resource management

It’s a rewarding way to give back to the Ocean Grove community and be part of something truly special at Christmas time ❤️🎶

To find out more, send us a DM, we’d love to chat.

We’re still soaking up the joy from Carols in the Park and wanted to share a few more beautiful moments from the evening. From smiling faces and festive sing-alongs to the glow of Christmas lights — what a night it was for Ocean Grove ❤️🎶

Thank you again to everyone who came along and helped make it such a special community celebration.

🎄❤️ Thank you, Ocean Grove! ❤️🎄

What an incredible night at Carols in the Park, and it’s all thanks to this amazing community. Seeing around 3,000 people come together to celebrate, sing and share in the Christmas spirit was truly special.

Our performers were absolutely incredible and helped create such a joyful, memorable evening for everyone there 🎶✨

A huge thank you to the organisers, including Jon Mamonski, along with our incredible volunteers and committee, whose time, energy and dedication made this event possible. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised $1,675 in gate donations, which will go directly to Feed Me Bellarine to support local families in need. We were also blown away by the number of gifts donated for children in need - these will be passed on to Cottage By The Sea.

From all of us, thank you for showing up, giving generously, and helping make this such a special night for Ocean Grove. 🎄✨
