Australia Day Celebrations
Most people have a day off work on Australia Day and spend the day on the beach, having a barbecue, going to outdoor concerts, or watching sports events.
States in Australia celebrate the holiday with different Australia Day events. In NSW, boat races are common, including the tall ships race regatta in Sydney. In QLD, the day includes a food festival known as the Great Australian Bites, and in Melbourne, VIC, a parade is part of the celebrations.
Australia Day citizenship ceremonies are common. These ceremonies welcome immigrants who have been granted citizenship in a multicultural country. Australia Day awards are also handed out on January 26, including Australian of the year and the Order of Australia from the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia.
