Why

On 26 January make some noise on the La Perouse Headland as we celebrate survival, resistance, and the power of First Nations Culture.

A day for all ages – mob, allies and families are invited to experience live music, dance, drop-in activities and more.

This is a free event, no bookings or tickets required.

This years Culture on Country will be hosted by Sean Choolburra and features a vibrant program of live music and cultural performances. Live music performances include Cianna Walker and Stiff Gins, alongside cultural dance performances by Doonooch Dancers and Wuruniri.

Visitors are also invited to take part in free, drop-in workshops throughout the day, including weaving with Malima and shellwork with Aunty Maxine Ryan.

Watch the sunset and enjoy a free community BBQ for dinner, open to everyone as part of the event.

Pack a feed and your picnic blanket, turn up and do La Perouse proud!

No parking is available in the Museum carpark. Road closures at the joining of Bunnerong Road and Anzac Parade will be in place if traffic is congested. Allow extra time for travel.
