Media Statement: Pipe Bands in the Parade this year
As Chair of the ANZAC Day Parade Brisbane, it is my great privilege to warmly welcome all veterans, serving members, their families and the wider community to the 2026 ANZAC Day Parade. This day holds a special place in our national life—an opportunity to honour service, remember sacrifice, and reconnect with the enduring bonds of mateship that define the ANZAC spirit. Whether you choose to march alongside comrades or stand proudly as a member of the community, your presence ensures that this tradition remains strong, visible, and meaningful.
The Parade will be held in the Brisbane CBD on 25 April 2026, commencing in the morning at 9.45am with the arrival of the Governor, following the Dawn Service. Veterans and serving members are warmly encouraged to participate in the march, joining your associations/units in George Street. The community is invited to line the streets, principally Adelaide Street in support and remembrance. Further details regarding timings, assembly points and participation can be found on this website. I encourage all to join us—together we honour the past, support the present, and inspire future generations.
Lest we forget.
The first ANZAC Day Parade took place in Brisbane on the 25 April 1916.
While we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom during the Dawn Services and other services of Remembrance, the ANZAC Day Parade is an opportunity to celebrate and recognise all those that have served and still continue to serve our country.
Each year, the parade wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. Anyone wishing to volunteer to deliver the Parade or otherwise assist in the ongoing event organisation can submit an expression of interest. 2026 Applications close 31st March 2026.
If you wish to participate in the 2026 Anzac Day Parade Brisbane, as an individual or Ex-Service Association not recognised within the current Order of March, a place within Group 2 of the Order of March has been reserved for Veterans that are not current members of those participating Associations.
There are several ways you can contribute to the Brisbane CBD Parade and support the legacy of service that helped shape our history, our country, and our way of life.
In 2026 the event may face restrictions to comply with the Event Planning requirements, however it will be conducted on the traditional route unless otherwise notified. Veterans and citizens unable to attend are invited to watch the event on ABC iView or live broadcast TV.
With their hair a little whiter, their step not quite so sure
Still they march on proudly as they did the year before.
Theirs were the hands that saved us, their courage showed the way
Their lives they laid down for us, that we may live today.
From Gallipoli’s rugged hillsides, to the sands of Alamein
On rolling seas and in the skies, those memories will remain.
Of airmen and the sailors, of Lone Pine and Suvla Bay
The boys of the Dardenelles are remembered on this day.
They fought their way through jungles, their blood soaked desert sands
They still remember comrades who rest in foreign lands.
They remember the siege of old Tobruk, the mud of the Kokoda Trail
Some paying the supreme sacrifice with courage that did not fail.
To the icy land of Korea, the steamy jungles of Vietnam
And the heroic battle of Kapyong and that epic victory at Long Tan.
Fathers, sons and brothers, together they fought and died
That we may live in peace together, while at home their mothers cried.
When that final bugle calls them to cross that great divide
Those comrades will be waiting when they reach the other side.
