ANZAC Day - Shannon Civic Ceremony 2024

Observed annually on 25 April, ANZAC Day is Aotearoa New Zealand's most important day of national commemoration. It marks the anniversary of the first major action by New Zealand and Australian forces during the First World War, landing on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

ANZAC Day commemorates those we’ve lost to war and honours returned servicemen and women. Join us in remembering them during ANZAC ceremonies in Horowhenua. Lest we forget.
