Presented by the Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council, in partnership with the City of Port Phillip and supported by the National Australia Day Council, come along to the We-Akon Dilinja on Sunday 26 January 2025 at 5.45am - and yes, it's an early start. This special event invites all members of the community to come together to reflect, respect, and celebrate at a ceremony that honours the past and looks to a new united vision through the voices of First Nations performers and speakers.

There'll be a musical performance, a smoking ceremony, a multi-faith component that reflects the inclusive spirit of the morning, and it's all happening at 9 Alfred Square, St Kilda. A free event, no bookings are required. The event will also be live-streamed for those who can't make it, here . Seating is limited and will be prioritised for Elders and those who may have difficulty standing for extended periods.


Two days later on Tuesday 28 January 2025 from 3-4pm the City of Port Phillip also has a Midsumma Flag Raising Ceremony at St Kilda Town Hall, 99A Carlisle St, St Kilda. Come along and be part of the raising of the Pride flags in support of our LGBTQIA+ community. There'll be some incredible speakers on the day, plus a special guest will be welcomed to the steps of the Town Hall.

Stay in touch with the Council as they post interesting content on Facebook like the first few headliner artists hitting the iconic Main Stage at the upcoming St Kilda Festival over the weekend of 15 & 16 Feb - with a full program drop next week. Australian music royalty, Peter Garrett & the Alter Egos, Indie-pop darlings, Cub Sport, and rising songstress, Jem Cassar-Daley are just the tip of the iceberg at this year's festival that promises another jam-packed weekend featuring some of the best bands and artists in the country, summer festivities, family fun, and all-round good times.
