The candles will glow and the voices will ring out at the Botanical Gardens this Sunday night as a tradition going back about 80 years is played out.
Played out along with the sounds of the Deco Bay Brass Band.
It is Carols by Candlelight, a Christmas event for the community to embrace which has quite a history, band president Murray Warrington said.
"It has been held there at the Botanical Gardens since the 1930s, although there was a bit of a break during the 1980s," he said.
The event has also traditionally drawn good crowds through the years as it created what Mr Warrington described as "a really great family environment — we have all ages coming along".
