Join Litchfield Council in celebrating Australia Day 2026 at the iconic Freds Pass market shed! Kickstart your day with a FREE BBQ breakfast and our traditional Fun Run, commencing at 7:30 am with registration opening at 7:00 am. This year, gear up for the festivities with a chance to win prizes for the best dressed on Australia Day – unleash your creativity and join in on the fun!

Litchfield Council recognises how important it is to create spaces where men can feel welcome, supported, and able to simply be themselves, without expectations, pressure, or the need to “talk about big feelings” unless they want to. With support from the NT Government’s Department of Health and in partnership with a range of local community groups, we’re launching the Litchfield Mates: Catch Up & Chill Program, a series of monthly gatherings designed to strengthen connection, improve wellbeing, and build sustainable support networks right here in Litchfield.

One of the Northern Territory’s most iconic community events is getting a new name and a new home!
