NAIDOC Week is a special time to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements and is an opportunity to recognise the contributions Indigenous Australians make to our country and society.
This year’s theme is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.
The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Get involved in this year's events!
The annual Celebration Walk starts from the Ballina RSL Club and proceeds along River Street then Cherry Street to the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre (BISC) for the official flag raising ceremony. Refreshments, BBQ, displays and games in the BISC with morning tea provided for community Elders.
