Blossoming with Jacaranda pride

Meet Alice Jabour, Amelia McLachlan, and Imogen Jablonski, three vibrant and community-spirited ladies who are thrilled to introduce themselves as the 2024 Jacaranda candidates.

Throughout the past several months, they have been busy fundraising ahead of the 2024 Grafton Jacaranda Festival, which will celebrate its 90th Anniversary this year, and they have also dedicated their time to becoming better acquainted with locals, including business owners and community leaders, while learning more about the proud history of the oldest floral festival in Australia.

As the 2024 Jacaranda candidates, they have embarked on journeys of self-discovery while readily embracing new experiences and opportunities in their quest to become the next Jacaranda Queen.

Dannielle Bower is also proud to introduce herself as the 2024 Matron of Honour Elect.
