DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the festive season this December 2026 at the free Hands of Hope Christmas Fest across Willawong and St Lucia in Brisbane. Local Brisbane families and kids can enjoy carnival games\, jumping castles\, petting zoos\, delicious food\, and a special Christmas gift on arrival for the first 400 children attending. \n\n\nHands of Hope Christmas Fest\nHands of Hope’s much-loved Christmas Fest returns for another year of community celebration. Since 1998\, this flagship event has brought Christmas cheer to Brisbane’s southwestern community.

Families are invited to come along with their friends and be part of a celebration that spreads hope this Christmas. \nWillawong: what to expect \n\nCarnival games\nFace painting\nBalloon twisting\nJumping castle\nPetting zoo\nBMX airshow\nSausage sizzle\nCarnival food\nRaffle draws\nA Christmas present for the first 400 children\, given on arrival\nAnd more!\n\nSt Lucia: what to expect \n\nCarnival games\nFace painting\nBalloon twisting\nBubble performances\nJumping castle\nPetting zoo\nChristmas carols\nFood trucks and stalls\nRaffle draws\nA Christmas present for the first 400 children\, given on arrival\nAnd more!\n\nPlan your visit\nHands of Hope Christmas Fest @ Willawong \nDate: Saturday 5th December 2026\, 3pm to 6pm\nWhere: Unidus Community Event\, 204 Sherbrooke Road\, Willawong QLD 4110\nMore information here \nHands of Hope Christmas Fest @ St Lucia \nDate: Saturday 12th December 2026\, 3pm to 6pm: Carnival activities\, 6:30pm to 8pm: Christmas carols\nWhere: Guyatt Park\, Hiron Street\, St Lucia 4067\nMore information here \n
