NAIDOC Family Fun Day 2026
50 Years of Deadly
One of the largest NAIDOC community events in Sydney, NAIDOC Family Fun Day brings together thousands of people each year to celebrate culture, community and the strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
With a fun carnival atmosphere, it’s perfect for people of all ages. Everybody from toddlers to Elders get into the community-building spirit of the event, while enjoying a range of live performances. All ages can also get hands-on with art and craft workshops.
In 2026, AbSec marks the 50th year of NAIDOC Week, reflecting on five decades of resistance, survival and culture.
The day has a vibrant carnival atmosphere that welcomes everyone. Families, young people, Elders and community members come together to connect, learn and celebrate in a culturally strong environment.

Standing in solidarity
NAIDOC Week 2025 marks 50 years of celebrating Indigenous strength, culture, and resilience. This year’s theme, The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, reflects the enduring journey of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—honouring the past, empowering young leaders, and building a future guided by community-led vision and self-determination.
AbSec proudly stands in solidarity, championing the next generation as they carry forward the legacy of their Elders. We remain committed to ensuring Indigenous voices lead the way, fostering a future grounded in cultural strength, justice, and unity. This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate not just a milestone, but the movement that continues to grow, evolve, and empower generations to come.
