The Redcliffe Peninsula Christmas Carols is a free family evening at Clontarf Beach State High School on Sunday 13 December, with a stage program, food and a visit from Santa. It runs from 4 pm to 8 pm and is presented by City of Moreton Bay, so it is one of the easiest Christmas outings on the peninsula.
Entry is free and you do not need a ticket. Bring a rug, settle on the grass and make an evening of it.
Redcliffe Christmas carols: when and where

What is on
The organiser lists a stage program, free family activities, food and a visit from Santa. The full line-up is not published on the event page, so check it closer to the night.
First aid is on site, and there is a private parents room. Food and drinks are allowed in, so you can bring a picnic, or buy something on site. The organiser’s page does not list prices or vendors, so treat the food as an extra and bring water.
Making a night of it
The organiser has not said when Santa appears or when the stage acts go on, so check the event page or the Christmas City of Moreton Bay Facebook page for updates. Arriving early gives the kids more time at the free family activities and a better choice of grass, and the night finishes at 8 pm.
Getting there and parking
Clontarf is about 30 km by road from the Brisbane CBD, about 40 minutes by car without traffic. Parking is street parking only. Do not block driveways, and follow the directions of the traffic marshals. Accessible parking is in standard bays near the site.
The organiser suggests walking if you live close to the park.
What to bring and what to leave at home
- You can bring food and drinks, but the event is alcohol-free and glass-free.
- Tents and shade structures are not allowed, and neither are electric scooters, skateboards and bikes. Mobility devices are fine.
- Smoking and vaping are not permitted.
- Dogs are allowed, on a lead at all times, and you need to pick up after them.
Accessibility and rain
The school is wheelchair accessible and the site is mostly flat, but the whole site is grass, so rain before or during the night can make wheelchairs and prams harder to move. Two accessible toilets are on site, also on grass. There is no quiet zone, and loud noise and bright lights come from the main stage only.
The event goes ahead in the rain, although the program may change if the weather becomes a safety issue. Any cancellation is posted on the Christmas City of Moreton Bay Facebook page.
Details can change, so check the organiser’s website before you go.
