The NAIDOC 2021 theme is Heal Country, held from Sunday, July 4 to Sunday, July 11.
NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is not just celebrated in the Indigenous communities but also in increasing numbers of government agencies, schools, councils, and workplaces.
This year Neighbourhood Central will celebrate NAIDOC by hosting a free community event, a Healing Country NAIDOC Concert, at the Bushman's Hill Indigenous Precinct in Wentworth Street, Parkes.
It will take place on Saturday, July 10, from 11.30am to 2.30pm.
