COOGEE CAROLS

Each year the Coogee Carols brings together locals and families from surrounding areas to celebrate community and Christmas. Presented by Randwick City Council, the free event is sure to be a nice antidote to a sizzling day at the beach, featuring local celebrities and performers, a 12-piece band, and even a special visit from Santa.
