Join us at the largest annual celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, history and excellence in Sydney’s Inner West.
AbSec’s annual Family Fun Day is a vibrant celebration of Aboriginal culture and history.
With a fun carnival atmosphere, it’s perfect for people of all ages. Everybody from toddlers to Elders get into the community-building spirit of the event, while enjoying a range of live performances. All ages can also get hands-on with art and craft workshops.
The event is open for everybody, both Aboriginal and non-Indigenous. This is a chance for people from all walks of life to come together and connect with each other in a meaningful way, while learning about Aboriginal history and culture.
This vibrant event by AbSec promises a day filled with joy, cultural sharing, and community spirit.
NAIDOC Week 2025 marks 50 years of celebrating Indigenous strength, culture, and resilience. This year’s theme, The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, reflects the enduring journey of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—honouring the past, empowering young leaders, and building a future guided by community-led vision and self-determination.
AbSec proudly stands in solidarity, championing the next generation as they carry forward the legacy of their Elders. We remain committed to ensuring Indigenous voices lead the way, fostering a future grounded in cultural strength, justice, and unity. This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate not just a milestone, but the movement that continues to grow, evolve, and empower generations to come.
If you encounter any issues or have concerns during the AbSec Family Fun Day, reach out to our team for immediate assistance or in case of an emergency, contact our security team, who will be readily available throughout the venue.
AbSec is the peak organisation concerned with the welfare of Aboriginal children, young people and families. We advocate for their rights, while supporting carers and communities. Our main priority is to keep children and young people safe, with the key goal of also keeping them within their family and community. It is vitally important that young people grow up surrounded by those who understand them, comfortable within their own culture where they will thrive.
