The Gold Coast Mayor’s Carols transformed the iconic HOTA Outdoor Stage into a vibrant holiday wonderland with the power of ACME Lighting. Organized by Krank’d Productions and Onesol Productions, the standout events brought festival cheer to attendees of all ages with stunning lighting, expansive LED screens, an array of food trucks, and free family-friendly entertainment.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate promised a bigger and better Carols celebration, and the event exceeded expectations in spectacular fashion. Tickets sold out weeks in advance, and despite the rainy weather, audiences enthusiastically sang and danced to beloved Christmas classics.
The event was hosted by 7NEWS Gold Coast presenters Amanda Abate and Steve Titmus as well as 1029 Hot Tomato’s Emily Jade O’Keeffe and Galey. The artists line up featured the Gold Coast singer-songwriter Budjerah, supported by Australian singing sensation Dami Im and brass ensemble, the Hot Potato Band.
Onesol Productions provided a top tier audio and LED package, while Krank’d Productions handled the lighting. The stage featured 50 ACME fixtures, including 10 x MANA PROFILE, 24 x GLAMOUR 700Z, 12 x STAGE PAR ZOOM COLOR, and 4 x STAGE PAR COLOUR, all working together to create an electrifying atmosphere. Lighting designer Panda from Krank’d Productions masterfully crafted a stunning lighting design that captivated the live audience and catered for the television broadcast requirements.
The kids were delighted by the performances from the Characters of The Warner Bros. Movie World Looney Tune Christmas, along with a special performance by the Wizard of Oz cast and a visit from the one and only Santa Claus.
With stunning lighting and unforgettable performances, the Gold Coast Mayor’s Carols was a shining celebration of community spirit. ACME Lighting is proud to have illuminated this magical celebration and looks forward to brightening more events in the future.
