Join us for a flag raising ceremony on Sydney Town Hall steps to mark Australian South Sea Islander National Recognition Day.
The ceremony includes speeches and cultural performances.
Australian South Sea Islander National Recognition Day marks the date in 1994 when the Commonwealth Government officially recognised the Blackbirded descendants from the 80 islands of Vanuatu and Solomons as a distinct cultural group.
