'Carols on the Lawn', hosted by Reside Church, is a free, family-friendly community event that brings people together to celebrate Christmas through live carol singing, children's activities, games, and entertainment in an outdoor setting. 

For more than 20 years, the event has provided an inclusive and welcoming space for people of all ages and backgrounds across the Greater Geelong region to connect and celebrate. The event also supports local vendors and businesses, contributing to the local economy while fostering community connection, social inclusion, and a strong sense of belonging. 

Reside Church is committed to creating a safe, accessible, and enjoyable event that strengthens community spirit and provides a meaningful opportunity for residents to come together during the festive season.

This event is supported by the City of Greater Geelong through the 2026 Christmas Grants Program.
