We are excited to announce that Humphrey B. Bear will be performing at Carols by the Creek this year. To celebrate his return, Humphrey and his friends have a smorgasbord of exciting plans so come and sing, dance, laugh, learn and explore with Humphrey the fun loving bear! Humphrey is delighted to be spreading the Christmas cheer at the Mitcham Christmas Carols this year. He loves entertaining children and can’t wait to ‘jingle bells’ with all his friends.

International Tenor Brian Gilbertson will compere the carols which features some of Adelaide’s most popular stars including the Flaming Sambucas, Sitara, our own Mitcham City Band, the Australian Girls Choir, Scotch Pipes and Drums and the Adelaide Sound Connection Choir.
