NAIDOC Week 2025

Published on 23 June 2025

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn aboutFirst Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.

This year, Frankston City Libraries is excited to join in the celebrations with a range of engaging and educational activities. Here’s what we have planned for NAIDOC Week 2025:
