About Christmas Fest
Christmas Fest is a flagship event by Hands of Hope since 1998. Held every first and second Saturday of December, we aim to bring the Christmas cheer to our Southwestern community in Brisbane, and to bring friends and family together.
This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council, the Lord Mayor’s Community Fund and Moorooka Ward Councillor.
