Australia Day is the official national day of Australia, observed annually on January 26. It marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson. Today, it serves as a massive nationwide celebration of the country's diverse society and landscape.
For most Australians, this public holiday is a chance to enjoy the peak of summer. It is traditionally celebrated with community events, family barbecues, beach parties, and spectacular fireworks displays in major cities. Citizenship ceremonies are also a common part of the day, welcoming new Australians into the community.
