ANZAC Day Overnight Vigil

Held on Sunday 24 March from 7:30pm till 8:30pm, the ANZAC Day Overnight Vigil belongs to our young people – and is a perfect way to ensure your kids understand the importance of ANZAC Day and are still be in bed at a reasonable hour.

The Overnight Vigil is coordinated by local service groups.

An opening ceremony marks the beginning of the Overnight Vigil which sees community groups guard the memorial, known as the cenotaph.

The guard continues until the Dawn Service (6am, Monday 25 April) when our local service groups handover the guard to the Australian Navy Cadets.
