SUMMARY:2026 International AIDS Candlelight Memorial: Save the Date
DESCRIPTION:Peer Magic: The Power of Connection\, Care and Lived Experience \n2026 marks 41 years since the first International AIDS Candlelight Memorial was held in Melbourne. This year we recognise the vital role of peers in the response to HIV and AIDS with the theme Peer Magic: The Power of Connection\, Care and Lived Experience. \nJoin us as we gather in community to share stories\, reflect\, and commemorate the friends\, family and lovers we have lost to AIDS over the decades. Together we honour the enduring strength of peer support and the people who continue to shape a more compassionate and informed future for those living with HIV. \nAs we light candles in remembrance\, we also look forward. The memorial is a time to acknowledge the power of connection\, care and lived experience\, and to reaffirm our commitment to building a better world for all peers living with HIV. \nThe evening will feature a panel discussion on the power of peer connection\, alongside reflections from community speakers including Susan Paxton\, Adam Ehm and LPV CEO Richard Keane. \nMusic from the Low Rez Melbourne Male Choir will be woven throughout the program\, leading into a candle lighting moment to honour those we have lost and celebrate their lives.
