COJA Chanukah Party Melbourne 2026
Description
COJA's favourite time of the year is back! Every year, the Centre of Jewish Artists celebrates the festival of Chanukah to spread light and joy within our community.
The whole COJA community is invited to our annual Chanukah celebration in Melbourne. Join us for a dance, share a drink or two, connect with artists, friends, and supporters to celebrate the year that was.
We acknowledge that our community brings together people with a wide range of lived experiences. COJA holds space for all in our community, and our Chanukah party is a safe, inclusive opportunity to come together and connect.
Registration is essential for security purposes.

COJA respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we work on, the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We recognise that First Peoples have engaged in storytelling and self expression on this land through the arts for thousands of years. We are grateful for the continuing presence of our country’s First Peoples and their deep connection to ritual and culture.
