Celebrate Australia Day

Published on 16 January 2025

Australia Day is an important day of the year to celebrate and show gratitude for this country and what it means to be Australian. For our City it is also a day to recognise the important contribution made to our society by community members through our Australia Day Community Awards.

The annual Fairfield City Community Awards pay tribute to all those who dedicate their time and effort into making Fairfield City a better community for all. Winners will be announced on Australia Day at our special awards ceremony. Follow Fairfield City Council's Facebook page for updates.

To help families celebrate Australia Day, pool entry will be free on Sunday 26 January from 10am-4pm at Prairiewood and Fairfield leisure centre. You can also get free entry to the Fairfield Youth & Community Centre from 10am-3.30pm. Finish off your day at Adams Park, Canley Vale for a spectacular fireworks display at 9pm.

Preparations have also begun for Fairfield City’s biggest Lunar New Year celebration! Welcome in the Year of the Snake at Council’s popular cultural celebration in the heart of Cabramatta on Saturday 15 February 2025 from 11am to 9pm.

Join us for a day filled with lion dancing, free face painting and balloon animals, amusement rides, food, fireworks and more.

It’s great to start the new year with some of Council’s biggest celebrations. I look forward to celebrating with you.
