Upcoming Anzac Day dates

Why Anzac Day is on April 25

Anzac Day, April 25, marks the 1915 landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli. It is the most solemn day in both countries' calendars, observed with dawn services at the hour of the landing, marches, and the recitation of the Ode of Remembrance. It has broadened over time to honour all who served in any conflict.

Planning ahead

Dawn services start before first light — typically around 5:30am — and are attended in large numbers, so arrive early and expect road closures near memorials. It is a public holiday in both Australia and New Zealand, with trading restrictions in place for part of the day in most states.
