Griffith’s Carols by Candlelight will once again benefit from the creative direction of local music teacher and performer Hannah Lonergan, who has been appointed Creative Director for 2026.
Following the success of last year’s Carols by Candlelight, Council is delighted to welcome Hannah back to the role. With extensive experience in music performance, event coordination and community engagement, Hannah brings a strong understanding of Griffith’s talented creative community.
As an active member of the Griffith City Town Band and Griffith Musicians Club, Hannah has also been involved in a range of local musical productions and events.
Working closely with Council’s Event Management Team, Hannah will help shape this year’s Christmas celebrations, bringing together local performers, community groups, schools and musicians to create a festive program for the community.
Council’s Director, Director Economic and Organisational Development, Shireen Donaldson said Council was pleased to welcome Hannah back for a second year.
“Hannah brings a wonderful mix of creativity, experience and local knowledge to the role, and we’re looking forward to seeing what she has in store for the community this year,” she said.
This year’s Carols by Candlelight will be held on Sunday, 13 December 2026 at the Community Gardens.
