Celebrate the world’s oldest living cultures through music, dance, storytelling and connection. Beginning with a Welcome to Country by a Traditional Custodian, this vibrant program features local performers and cultural ambassadors sharing traditions with pride. Enjoy all-day entertainment and explore market stalls offering stunning arts and crafts—both traditional and contemporary. This showcase invites everyone to come together in the spirit of reconciliation, honour Country and experience First Nations creativity on a national stage. Proudly presented by the Canberra and District NAIDOC Aboriginal Corporation, it’s a powerful celebration of culture, community and identity.
