Reflecting on our history, people and lifestyle
Published 20th January 2024
Australia Day, January 26, is about celebrating all the things we love about our community, including our land, lifestyle, freedoms, history and people. It is a time to celebrate the contribution that every Australian has made to our contemporary and dynamic nation.
Let's come together on Friday, 26 January 2024 for our annual Australia Day Celebrations at Soldiers Memorial Garden (Flinders Parade, Victor Harbor). All are welcome!
- Free BBQ breakfast at 8am
- Formal ceremony commencing at 9am
- Welcome to Country by Cedric Varcoe
- Entertainment from the Victor Harbor City Band and Rebecca Gagliardi
- Citizenship Ceremony
- 2024 Citizen of the Year Awards
- Town Crier - Mike Willet
On Australia Day, we reflect on the stories and experiences of our people. By understanding our history of colonisation, we recognise that January 26 can be painful and difficult for our First Nations people and we acknowledge their grief felt during this time.
