Tarntanyangga / Victoria Square

Celebrating 50 Years of NAIDOC

The NAIDOC SA March and Family Festival is South Australia’s premier NAIDOC Week community event, bringing together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, organisations, allies and supporters to celebrate culture, achievement, resilience and the ongoing contributions of First Nations peoples.

The day will commence with the annual NAIDOC March through the Adelaide CBD, led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members, Elders and leaders. The march provides an opportunity for people of all backgrounds to walk together in solidarity, celebrate the strength and diversity of First Nations cultures, and recognise the significance of 50 years of NAIDOC.

Following the march, participants will gather at the Parliament House steps for official welcomes and community addresses from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, providing an opportunity to reflect on the history, achievements and future aspirations of First Nations peoples.

The celebrations will then continue at the NAIDOC SA Family Festival at Tarntanyangga (Victoria Square), featuring live music and cultural performances, community stalls, children’s activities, food vendors, cultural demonstrations, information services and opportunities to connect with community.

In 2026, NAIDOC SA proudly celebrates the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC, marking five decades of recognising and celebrating the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The event is free and open to all ages, creating a welcoming and inclusive space for community to come together, learn, celebrate and honour this significant milestone.
