Mabo Day Celebration Concert

Join for an evening honouring culture, community and the legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose courage reshaped Australian history. The Mabo Day Celebration Concert program features live music, authentic Islander food, spoken word, video and a joyful ukulele sing-along.

The evening brings together Torres Strait Islander performers based in Narrm, including MC Leon Filewood, singer Kee’ahn, musician Jessie Lloyd, DJ randals dad and friends.

Koorie Heritage Trust also shares a personal connection to the Mabo decision through founder Ron Castan AM QC, lead counsel for the plaintiffs from 1982 until the landmark High Court judgment in 1992.

Mabo Day, marked annually on 3 June, commemorates Eddie Koiki Mabo’s successful challenge to terra nullius and the decision that paved the way for native title in Australia.

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