Logan City Council’s arts team has four Christmas-season events between 20 November and 12 December 2026: a free exhibition opening, a free holiday artisan market on Saturday 28 November, a seniors’ lunch show on Friday 11 December and a Love Actually cabaret on Saturday 12 December. Queensland has no daylight saving, so all times are Brisbane time.
Everything here comes from the four LoganARTS event pages and the LoganARTS page for Logan Entertainment Centre (LEC), all read on 8 November 2026 . Where the pages are silent, the article says so.

What is the JAM exhibition opening on 20 November?
The Mayor, Jon Raven, and the Councillors of the City of Logan invite the public to the official opening of JAM: Musicians of Logan at the Living Museum of Logan, 270 Jacaranda Avenue, Kingston, on Friday 20 November from 4pm. Speeches begin at 4:30pm, and the event runs about two and a half hours. It is free, all are welcome, and the page has a “Book here” link.
The exhibition celebrates the stories, sounds and creative journeys of artists with roots in Logan. Refreshments are provided, and featured musicians Edgy and Hedgy perform. The page does not say how long the exhibition runs after the opening or what the museum’s usual hours are.
When is the holiday artisan market?
The Holiday Artisan Market is on Saturday 28 November from 10am for four hours, at Logan Art Gallery on the corner of Wembley Road and Jacaranda Avenue in Logan Central. It is free and drop-in, and the page says all are welcome. The gallery describes thoughtful gifts “you won’t find anywhere else” from local artists and makers, plus free drop-in creative activities for kids, including festive crafts and face painting.
The page has an RSVP link but does not say whether an RSVP is required, and it does not list the stalls, any card-payment details or parking.
What is the Silver Series Christmas lunch show on 11 December?
Silver Series: A Swingin’ Christmas Show stars Craig Martin and his six-piece band at Logan Entertainment Centre on Friday 11 December, with the show starting at noon and running 1 hour 30 minutes.

Balcony guests can pre-purchase lunch online and eat in the Limelight Café from 11am; the venue stresses that lunch is not included with a balcony ticket and that pre-purchase is essential if you want it. The page does not publish the lunch menu or the price of the balcony lunch.
What is Christmas Actually on 12 December?
Christmas Actually is a 90-minute cabaret at Logan Entertainment Centre on Saturday 12 December at 7:30pm. The venue is open from 5:30pm and doors open at 7pm. It stars Australian cabaret performer Libby O’Donovan OAM and a band, and plays the songs from the film Love Actually, which the venue says include songs by Mariah Carey, Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, Kelly Clarkson, The Beach Boys and The Beatles. The audience is listed as mature audiences, 16 and over.

| Group of 10 or more | $45 |
| LEC member | $45 |
| Christmas dinner and drink package | $38 |
The $38 dinner package is served in Limelight before the show and includes one meal and one drink per person. The choice is off-the-bone ham and roast turkey, or a vegetarian roasted Portobello mushroom, with roasted chat potatoes, charred broccolini, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, a bread roll and butter. The package price is separate from the show ticket.
Where do I park for the Logan Entertainment Centre shows?
The venue says it has ample free on-site parking: about 70 spaces at the front, controlled by boom gates, and a further 300 at the rear, with 6 accessible spaces at the front and 3 at the back. Woodridge station is about 800 metres, roughly a 10-minute walk, from the centre. For timetables use translink.com.au or 13 12 30. The venue page also says the Lounge Bar opens two hours before each performance. Christmas Actually starts at 7:30pm and runs 90 minutes, so check your last train or bus home before you commit to public transport.
For the exhibition opening and the artisan market, the event pages give no parking advice. The Living Museum of Logan and the Logan Art Gallery are both in the Wembley Road and Jacaranda Avenue area, so ask LoganARTS before you drive.
