ANZAC DAY 2024 

ANZAC DAY NATIONAL CELEBRATION

Tuesday 25 April - starts with 5.30am dawn service 
Australian War Memorial and Anzac Parade, Reid

The Nations capital of Canberra commemorates Anzac Day with the early dawn service at the Australian War Memorial. The Anzac Day Canberra dawn service can be quite chilly in the brisk early morning air. So make sure you rug up as it all starts around 5am. It is a fabulous event held with great dignity. 

The dawn service is followed later around 10am by the National ceremony and march. In between the service and the march it is a good opportunity to have some tucker with an Anzac Breakfast. Many of the cafes and restaurants of Canberra will be open to serve. And then later in the day after the march it's ideal to catch an Anzac Day Lunch and reflect on the earlier services.

·        Dawn Service at 5.30am

·        The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Veterans Association Commemorative Ceremony

·        ACT RSL Veterans' March at 9.30am 
For more information contact admin@actrsl.org.au or call (02) 9161 7690

·        Last Post Ceremony at 4.45pm
