Sandstone Point Carols on the Oval returns in 2025 bigger and better than ever!

Mark your calendar for Saturday December 13, join the crowd at Sandstone Point Oval, Bestmann Road East and ‘have yourselves a very merry Christmas time’.  

Carols on the Oval is an alcohol-free, family-friendly, FREE Christmas Carols sing-a-long and concert. Bring your own chairs, rugs, candles and torch. You can also bring your own picnic food or purchase snacks and drinks from the local Sandstone Point Shopping Centre. While the main program starts at 6.30pm, come early for pre-Carols entertainment by Good Company singers from 6pm, while you enjoy your BYO family picnic.  

A band of volunteer musicians will lead our sing-a-long of Christmas Carol favourites. 

Dan Warlow, an Australian Kids’ Music artist and entertainer, returns this year to once again delight the kids (and adults) with dancing, singing and having a fun time.   

We welcome back amazing singer/songwriter Tammy Mathieson, who has enchanted our Carols on the Oval audiences since she first sang for us as a teenager in 2008.  

Local dance studio, Island Dance, will showcase their brilliance with their energetic and fun dances. If we’re lucky, their dads will show off their ‘moves’ on stage too!   

To top off the night’s entertainment, at 8pm we’re in for a treat from Light ‘Em Up Fireworks. 

This special event for our local community is proudly supported by the City of Moreton Bay and generous sponsorship by IGA Sandstone Point; Sandstone Point Community Association; Bribie Island Community Plant Nursery; Sandstone Point Lions; State MP Ariana Doolan; Federal MP Terry Young; Victory Press Printing; Bribie District Little Athletics; HealthSAVE Pebble Beach Pharmacy; Nathan’s Sound and Lighting and Hans Electrical, who will be onsite most of the day setting up and ensuring electrical safety. All of this support for the carols community event is greatly appreciated. 

Carols on the Oval is hosted by the Sandstone Community Church (SCC) which meets each Sunday at 3pm in the Ningi Community Hall on Bribie Island Road. SCC supports the local community in many ways including: Craft Group on Monday mornings in the Sandstone Point Hall (SP Hall); Average Joe’s men’s group on Tuesday evenings; mainly music for pre-schoolers and their carers on Thursday mornings (SP Hall).
