Gympie Lantern Walk

Thursday 23 May 2024 17.00 pm

Community Action - Gympie Region Domestic and Family Violence Service

The Domestic Violence Lantern Vigil is held every year in Gympie to celebrate Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, remember the lives of those lost to domestic violence, and to raise awareness in the community. Holding the lanterns high as we encircle the lake is a moving and visually beautiful experience. In 2024, our theme is 'Shedding Light on Coercive Control'. All community members (adults and children) are welcome. A warning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members that the names of people who have died are displayed onscreen.
