The carols will be held at the new Craigieburn Anzac Park on Saturday, December 3.

Mayor Drew Jessop says a bumper crowd of more than 10,000 people is expected.

“This promises to be our biggest and best carols yet,” he said.

Callea will be joined by performers including The Jingle Bells, Aydan Calafiore, the Naturally Cool Big Band, The Divine Divas of Sunbury, Victoria K and Melissa Defina.

There will also be performances by community groups and locals schools, including the Willmott Park Primary School choir.
