Celebrate this a special day bringing the community together through culture, learning and fun.

2026 marks 50 years of NAIDOC, a powerful milestone. The theme 50 Years of Deadly recognises the strength, achievements and rich cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while honouring the people and communities who have shaped this movement over five decades.

Everyone is welcome - come along, connect, and share in the celebrations.

This is an all-weather event and will go ahead rain or shine. Spaces are available indoors at the Lakeview Hall and Berry Hall, so please come along and enjoy the day regardless of the weather.

Bring your family and friends, enjoy the atmosphere and take the opportunity to learn something new, meet people and celebrate one of the world’s oldest continuing cultures.
