A huge crowd of about 500 plus people descended upon Watson’s Green in Home Hill, on Sunday, December 8, to celebrate this year’s 2024 Christmas Carols in fine style. Led by home grown talent and singing sensation, René Le Feuvre, the large audience was treated to something special.
With free entry, free facepainting, a photo booth, plenty of local entertainment and yummy food and drinks, plus a special appearance from Santa Claus, before the night finished with a spectacular fireworks display, the evening was a resounding success.
Many of the crowd dressed up in costume or Christmas themed colours adding to the spectacle.

The 2024 Christmas Carols, which took place at the beautiful Watson’s Green in Home Hill on December 8, drew a big crowd. Those who attended were eager to celebrate Christmas by singing carols along with the performers, while many dressed up in costumes or Christmas colours for the event.
The Burdekin Brass Band, who played on the lawn in front of the stage, kicked off the night before special guest and home grown talent, René Le Feuvre, starred in his performance, to the delight of his fans (and mum).
Others who got plenty of cheers of support included the ‘Let’s Groove’ Dance Troupe, who delighted the crowd with their fun moves; the Fast Track winning singers, Lauren, Riley and Eliza; along with the loved Island Remedies trio, Jo, Leeroy and Sadie, who gave a soulful demonstration of melodic old and songs.
With free entry, free face painting – a big winner on the night with the kids – plus a visit from Santa and fireworks, the large 500 plus audience in attendance, was treated to an exceptional night.
