Mabo Day Celebration Concert

Join for an evening that honours culture, community, and the extraordinary legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo – a man whose courage and determination reshaped the history of this country. The program features live music, spoken word, short films, and a joyful ukulele sing-a-long, all creating a heartfelt and vibrant tribute.

The evening brings together Torres Strait Islander performers and speakers based in Narrm, including MC Cerulean, Torres Green, Johnny Harding, Kiwat Kennell, Candice Lorrae, Lisa Mazza and DJ randals dad.

Mabo Day is marked annually on 3 June. It commemorates Mer Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo and his successful efforts to overturn the legal fiction of terra nullius, or ‘land belonging to no-one’. Sadly, Eddie Mabo died several months before the decision was handed down, though his legacy lives on.

Presented by the Koorie Heritage Trust in partnership with the City of Melbourne and Fed Square.
