Welcome to NAIDOC Week 2026 - 50 Years Deadly
50 Years Deadly marks five decades of NAIDOC Week, a week dedicated to amplifying and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.
50 Years of Deadly is both a reflection and a declaration. It acknowledges the strength it has taken to reach this milestone, not by chance, but because generations of people refused to be silenced. It recognises the organisers, artists, activists and communities who carried NAIDOC forward year after year, ensuring it remained grounded in culture and community.
NAIDOC Week 2026 will feature a host of events, programs and workshops held across the City of Gosnells — offering opportunities for learning, celebration and connection for all Australians.
The week will officially commence with the Annual Flag Raising Ceremony on Monday 6 July, a moment of unity that sets the tone for the celebrations to follow. Enjoy the art exhibition or join a cultural workshop or live performance — there's something for everyone to engage with and be inspired by.
