Australia Day Celebrations 2026

Thursday 22nd January 2026


The Australia Day activities for 2026 are assisted by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.

Celebrate Australia Day in Nannup with a series of free, inclusive, and family-friendly events at Foreshore Park. From water play and outdoor movies to a community breakfast and awards ceremony, there’s something for everyone. The Australia Day Breakfast and Awards is a highlight of the program – a welcoming event where all are invited to enjoy a free BBQ breakfast, honour the achievements of our local community members and contribute to the Indigenous Art Circle.

        

Hosted by the Shire of Nannup in collaboration with local businesses and the community, we encourage community members to reflect, respect and celebrate their local community.
