NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

For many years the City of Sydney has supported NAIDOC Week events within the community. For the third year we will be hosting our popular NAIDOC in the City event – a fun day of cultural events and activities in Hyde Park North on 7 July 2014 from 11am–3pm.

Come along and learn more about the oldest living culture through food, song, dance and art. Enjoy well known singers, participate in modern and traditional dance or try your hand at weaving. There are activities, entertainment and workshops for people of all ages.

NAIDOC Week celebrates the National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee, which grew from the first political groups of the 1920s.

The theme for NAIDOC Week 2014 is Serving Country: Centenary and Beyond, and honours all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women.
