The complete wrap of Anzac Day services in the region for 2026

There are Anzac Day services across the Queanbeyan-Palerang region to honour the sacrifices and legacy of our servicemen and women. Each service offers a meaningful opportunity to come together in remembrance, gratitude, and reflection.

The times and venues for services across our region are:

Queanbeyan

The services at Queanbeyan are jointly run by QPRC, RSL, HMAS Harman and Legacy Queanbeyan.

This year’s march is in a new location. The march is from the corner of Lowe and Morisset Street, up Lowe Street, turning right onto Antill Street and into Moore Park.

Moore Park is where the services will take place and includes the Queanbeyan Rose Memorial Gardens, Lone Pine and Boer War Memorials. There are several carparks nearby in the CBD where you will be able to park and walk across to the services at Moore Park.
