Carols by Candlelight will be taking place at the Mullumbimby Showground this Sunday, 7 December from 6.30pm.

Five schools and a preschool are participating along with other assorted artists. So bring a blanket, a picnic or enjoy the BBQs and snacks for sale.

The event is put on by the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce each year with great singalongs, visits from Saint Nicholas (aka Santa), and lots of fun and treats for the kids. Don’t miss out on this fun, family-friendly event.

No dogs please, and no rubbish to be left behind.

For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.

If you are a local business owner help us and in turn we help you. All The Echo asks for is advertising, not a free ride. It is every advert in The Echo and on www.echo.net.au, which creates the space for all the stories and coverage of community events, happenings and concerns.

If you are a reader you can become a sponsor of The Echo. Your support keeps the us independent.

Even a small one-off or regular donation from you will help keep the echo’s independent voice alive and strong.
