Hosted by Awabakal Ltd, this special event begins at Civic Park with a flag-raising ceremony at 9:00 am, followed by a united community procession to Foreshore Park, where festivities will continue until 3 pm.

The Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, a proud sponsor of the event, will host a dedicated information and activity tent alongside a wide range of community groups, offering engaging experiences for all ages across the Newcastle and Hunter regions.

This much-loved annual celebration draws more than 6,000 attendees and continues to grow each year. It is a meaningful opportunity to honour and share in the rich culture, history, and achievements of our First Nations peoples. The festival unites Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities to foster understanding, cultural pride, and education, particularly among younger generations, celebrating the strength and diversity of our shared Australian heritage.
