Territory Day

Territory Day is a chance for Territorians to celebrate this incredible place we call home.

Each year on 1 July, the Territory comes alive with fireworks, concerts and community events to recognise the day the NT declared independence from the Commonwealth Government in 1978.

Follow us for updates on Territory Day 2021.
