The Mayor of Portland, Rod Wild, opened the event and thanked IPACA for supporting the local community.
The Reverend Chris Briggs then led an open air carol service by the lit Christmas tree in Easton Square.
The event supported the Anning Charity Julia's House.
The IPACA choir, led by Mrs Fryer, sang Little Donkey, Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and We wish you a Merry Christmas.
Mr Smith gave out bells, for the younger pupils to support the older singers, in two of the songs.
Three guitar soloists, Eva, Athena and Billy from IPACA Osprey Quay and IPACA Southwell performed for the assembled crowds.
The Reverend Chris Briggs said afterwards, that he felt it was the best year yet and that he looked forward to much more community engagement with IPACA in the future.
The Chairman of the Portland Community Partnership, Andy Matthews, also took time to thank the pupils for singing at this event, as did many of the assembled crowd.
Local shop owners were pleased that so many members of the local community turned up to support this event.
And some of us even got to meet Elsa and Olaf.
Happy Christmas.
