On Anzac Day each year we remember all Australians who have served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. It is a chance to pause and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our nation.
Below we have given you an overview of selected events throughout Brisbane and surrounding areas, though there are many more happening each year.
Please note – all events are subject to change so make sure you check the RSL website before attending to ensure current details are correct.

The Anzac Day Parade will be held on Adelaide Street, between George Street and Creek Street, from 9.45am – 12.30pm on the 25th of April.ย The parade will feature former and current Australian Defence Force veterans and other groups.
Veterans and citizens unable to attend the parade can watch the event on ABC IView or LIVE ABC TV.

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.ย 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.

You’ve put the Gold Coast link on the Sunshine Coast section too.

I can’t wait! This will be fantastic. I’d like to encourage foreigners to also attend and pay homage to their own military personnel (current and past). Even though it is obviously tailored towards the Australian and New Zealand military contributions, it is an event that can bring us all together, no matter one’s race, religion or creed. Big ups to the event organisers. We must preserve tradition wherever possible in this modern world of ours.

What about Brisbane West??
Brooke Powell
Hi Jim, the events are sorted by north Brisbane (north of the river) and south Brisbane (south of the river), so many events to the west of Brisbane will be included in south of the river and Ipswich. Hope this helps.
