Stand in solidarity & goodwill with First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) people on this day to mark Invasion Day, a Day of Mourning and Survival Day.

Join us! Community come together, to acknowledge and pay respects to those who have marched before, 86 years since the first Day of Mourning.

This year the Sunshine Coast is holding it's 2nd Invasion Day procession. Only months after 6.2+ million people voted Yes at the recent referendum, community hold this space for First Nations people and their allies to walk together - regardless of their political perspectives.

Assemble 9.00am at Foundation Square (Sunshine Coast City Hall) Maroochydore.

Bring your family, bring your friends and bring your neighbours to commemorate and celebrate the true history of this country.

At 10.00am community will lead a 1.5km procession to Cotton Tree Park where we will gather. There will be an open mic and time for community to network.
