Camden Council will mark Australia Day on Monday 26 January 2026 with the ever-so popular Macarthur Lions Street Parade in Camden.
Residents are encouraged to head down to Argyle Street in Camden from 9am on Monday 26 January to see some incredible pre-parade roving entertainment, and then at 10am enjoy the much-loved Macarthur Lions Australia Day Street Parade which will conclude at
11am.
On Friday 23 January, Council will hold Camden's first Citizenship Ceremony for 2026, which will welcome more than 150 residents as they take their pledge to be true-blue Aussies. The Australia Day Awards will also crown Camden's Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year, and hand out a Sports Achievement Award, Community Group Award and Arts and Cultural Award.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said she was excited to see the community come together.
"Australia Day is a day for Australians to reflect on what it means to be Australian, to celebrate contemporary Australia and to acknowledge Australian history," she said.
"We are so lucky to live in this beautiful country and be able to celebrate with family and friends.
"It's also a day for respect. I encourage all residents to reflect and celebrate our nation, its achievements and most of all, its people. I hope to see you all in Camden marking this day together."
