Know Before You Go
- Tickets: Free family event.
- Hours: Food vans from 4PM; pre-show begins at 6PM.
- Parking: Free shuttles are provided, and on-street parking is available in surrounding streets.

- Pets: Responsible pet owners are welcome under local by-laws; consider whether fireworks will present a problem for your dog.
Tips & Advice
- Use the free Park 'n Ride shuttles, because carols traffic affects the intersection of Peachey Rd and Orange Mountain Rd in Ormeau.
- Bring picnic blankets, pillows or camping chairs for the playing field, and place chairs where they won't block the people behind you.
- Come early and have dinner from the food vans, which open before the pre-show and serve pizzas, burgers and international foods.
- Leave alcohol at home, because drinking in public places is illegal in Queensland and police patrol the event during the evening.
- Be settled in your spot before the main show, because it may start ten minutes early if that helps avoid late rain.
Special Events & Promotions
- New this year: Park 'n Ride shuttle options to the oval.
- The show is broadcast on the Highway Church YouTube channel on Christmas morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What food is available?
Food vans set up before the pre-show. They serve everything from pizzas and burgers to international foods, and the vendors are locally sourced.
Where do we sit to watch the show?
Everyone watches from the playing field of the oval. Bring picnic blankets and pillows. Camping chairs are fine, but be considerate of the people around and behind you.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Responsible pet owners are welcome under the local by-laws. Think about whether the fireworks at the end of the show will upset your dog.
Can I bring alcohol?
No. Drinking alcohol in a public place is illegal in Queensland, and there's no exemption for the carols. Police patrol during the evening.
What if I can't make it on the night?
The show is broadcast on the Highway Church YouTube channel on Christmas morning, so you can still watch it at home.
