Annual events

Australia Day Long Weekend

Sutherland Shire Council acknowledges Australia Day carries different meanings for every Australian/member of our community.

We have chosen a program of events to be reflective of the Australia Day Council theme: Reflect, Respect, Celebrate.

Commencing with a sunset cultural ceremony and including major concerts, outdoor cinemas and pool parties at our Leisure Centres, we delivered an epic program for our community over three days.

Cinema Under the Stars

Cinema Under the Stars was held in summer 2024, offering free outdoor movie experiences under the open sky in picturesque locations across Sutherland Shire.

Seniors Festival

Seniors Festival is our chance to thank, celebrate and recognise seniors for the positive contributions they make to the community through hosting a range of different activities that they can enjoy with other like-minded residents.

Centernarians Morning Tea..Do you know someone turning 100?

Do you know someone hitting the century mark (or older) this year? Help us celebrate their incredible milestone by providing their name and address to Council's Events Team. They'll receive a special invitation to attend our 'Centenarians Morning Tea'.

Hosted by Sutherland Shire Mayor, our cherished guests and their carer will enjoy high tea and an entertaining musical performance.

This annual event typically takes place from 10am to 11:30am in May or June.

Anzac Day

Anzac Day – a time when we traditionally come together to reflect on the extraordinary sacrifices our countrymen and women have made in times of conflict. Sutherland Shire Council is committed to honouring the many local servicemen and women who have served and continue to serve our nation here and abroad.

We invite our community to honor and acknowledge our Australian servicemen and women and the Anzac spirit by attending services or joining broadcasts of services by our local RSLs or the Australian National War Memorial. Lest We Forget.

Youth Week

Come together and get involved with your community during Youth Week. Share your ideas and views on issues important to you, showcase your talents, plus enjoy a variety of fun events and activities. Sutherland Shire Council in partnership with our local Youth Services and Youth Reference Group are excited to offer free events back in 2024.

First Nations Events

We partner with local organisations and community to bring people together in recognition of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to build reconciliation. Visit our First Nations Event Page for more information.
