As the long summer evenings settle over Perth, the city begins to glow with Candlelight. Strings of fairy lights weave through the trees along St Georges Terrace, and that familiar festive buzz starts to fill the warm air. It’s a uniquely Western Australian Christmas, one that swaps snow for sunshine, and this year, there’s a new kind of magic being added to the mix.
Candlelight is bringing its signature sea of thousands of candles to the city, creating intimate concerts that feel both timeless and perfectly suited to our relaxed festive season. It’s a chance to step away from the holiday rush and find a moment of stillness, wrapped in the warm, flickering light.
