The National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Commitee, grown from the first political groups to seek rights for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in the 1920s, is to celebrate NAIDOC In The City again this year – a fourth annual celebration of the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The free event is an opportunity to showcase and recognise the importance of indigenous culture,featuring a range of family-friendly activities and performances, including live music, dance, food, art and Australian animals.
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said it’ll be a day to recognise and celebrate the culture. “We are proud to live in a country that is home to the world’s oldest continuing living culture,” she said. “This event is a chance for everyone to experience some of that rich and vibrant culture through dance, art and food.”
The event will be hosted in Hyde Park on Monday July 6 from 11am to 3pm as a part of NAIDOC Week, a national program running from Sunday July 5 – Sunday July 12.
