NAIDOC Week Opening Ceremony

The Tamworth NAIDOC Week 2024 Opening Ceremony is set to be a momentous occasion, marking a vibrant celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Attendees can look forward to a ceremonial Welcome to Country, a profound Smoking Ceremony that invokes ancient traditions and spiritual cleansing, mesmerising performances by indigenous Dancers showcasing their rich cultural heritage through rhythmic movements and storytelling, and thought-provoking speeches delivered by esteemed guest speakers who champion indigenous rights and cultural preservation.

This cornerstone event of National NAIDOC Week in Tamworth is made possible through the generous support and funding of the National Indigenous Australians Agency, underscoring a commitment to honoring and promoting indigenous cultures nationwide. It serves as a powerful platform to educate, inspire, and unite communities in celebrating the invaluable contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Australia’s cultural tapestry.

Join us as we come together in solidarity and respect, embracing the spirit of NAIDOC Week and fostering deeper understanding and appreciation for indigenous histories, achievements, and ongoing aspirations.
