Warrnambool Candlelight Vigil by Movember

The Warrnambool Candlelight Vigil is a reflective community gathering on National Family Violence Remembrance Day, Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 5:45 PM to 6:45 PM at the Gunditjmara Aboriginal Cooperative 'Whale Room' overlooking the Hopkins River. Led by survivors and advocates, the event honors lives lost to family and domestic violence through speeches, a minute's silence, ribbon-tying, and shared stories of resilience. Local landmarks will glow purple in solidarity, with tea, coffee, and finger food served afterward. Onsite counseling support is available, and the venue offers accessible entry, parking, and a lift. Registration is essential for this free event open to all.
