Twilight entertainment program at 6pm (or at the setting of the sun). This is a free event with a gold coin donation appreciated for the not-for-profit Beenleigh Historical Village, where the event is located. As a COVID safe event, pre-booking is essential, along with pre-booking the hangi plate to avoid disappointment. On the day, guests and staff will be kept safe through physical distancing, masks, hand sanitising, and advanced cleaning and disinfecting, along with QR code for contact tracing through the Queensland Check-in app.
This first-ever Twilight ANZAC Day celebration is a unique way for our communities to come together and honour the sacrifices of these men and women and how all cultures came together to defend our great nations. Uncle Eddie Ruska, Cultural Elder of Yugambeh and Co-founder for Spirits of the Red Sand says “Events like this bring about a spirit of community, of love, of tolerance and acceptance for all, uniting us in our efforts to honour these brave men and women.”
