ANZAC Day Parade
Head to the CBD for the annual ANZAC Day parade. The first ANZAC Day Parade took place in Brisbane on the 25th April 1916. This continued tradition is organised by the citizens to recognise the sacrifice of both retired and serving veterans of the Australian Defence Force and many Allied countries.
The parade will be held on Adelaide Street, between George Street and Creek Street, from 9:45am to 12:30pm and will feature former and current ADF veterans and other groups that contribute to the Parade that make it the commemoration worthy of its heritage.
Anyone wishing to volunteer to deliver the Parade or otherwise assist in the ongoing event organisation can submit an expression of interest. 2026 Applications closed on 31st March 2026, but you can now apply to volunteer for the 2026 and 2027 Parades.
The recommendation is to use public transport where possible to access the Parade area. The main form up area for veterans is a reasonable walk across the Victoria Bridge to Queens Park. Also from King George Square/Queen St busway levels to Adelaide Street for spectators as well as Central Station. Many of the CBD car parks are closed, however the King George Square car park remains accessible from Roma Street and is located close to Adelaide Street. Other car parks outside the vehicle closedown area are on Alice, Ann & Eagle Streets.
For those wishing to pay their respects at a service, a list of local commemorations can be found here.
