## 🎄 Pup Dates at Carols on Coogee Beach – Sunday 21 December 2025
Coogee’s favourite festive tradition is back! Randwick City Council proudly presents the 24th Annual Coogee Carols on Sunday 21 December 2025, from 6:30pm–8:30pm at beautiful Goldstein Reserve, Coogee Beach.
This much-loved free community event brings families, friends, neighbours – and of course, our fluffy companions – together to celebrate the spirit of Christmas in one of Sydney’s most iconic beachside locations. Bring a picnic rug, settle in on the grass, and enjoy an evening filled with music, joy and holiday cheer.
This year’s Carols will be co-hosted by TV and radio favourites Amanda Keller and Alex Lee, guiding the night with all the warmth, humour and festive sparkle they’re known for.

### 🎅🐾 Join Pup Dates for Dinner Before the Carols
For those who’d like to make an afternoon of it, Pup Dates has a 4:30pm booking at Barzura, the gorgeous café right across the road from the Carols.
This part is optional, and you simply pay for whatever you choose to order.
At around 5:30pm, we’ll wander across the road together to find a great spot for Pup Dates before the Carols begin at 6:30pm.

### 🚗 Parking Tips
From past experience, parking is generally available around 4pm, and most of it is free at that time.
Arriving a little earlier makes the whole experience relaxed and stress-free — plus it’s perfect for those joining us at Barzura.

### 🌟 Dog-Friendly Magic
This is one of the most dog-friendly festive events in Sydney. Last year, Romeo spent the entire night blissfully being patted by absolutely everyone – he genuinely believed the event had been put on especially for him. 🐶💛
The Carols finish at around 8pm, with a fireworks display at the end (please keep this in mind if your pup is noise-sensitive).

### ☀️🧺 What to Bring
To make the evening extra comfortable, please bring:
- A blanket to sit on
- Sunscreen
- A water bowl for your furry mate (plus water)

### 🎤 Digital Songbook
A digital songbook will be released closer to the date so everyone can sing along to their favourite Christmas classics.
