NAIDOC Week | 6 - 13 July 2025
National NAIDOC Week celebrates and recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This year’s theme, The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities and the legacy of our ancestors.
We invite you to celebrate NAIDOC Week and grow your understanding of First Nations cultures and histories through a range of free activities held in the City of Wanneroo.
