The Koorie Heritage Trust in partnership with the City of Melbourne is proud present a free Mabo Day Celebration Concert.

Join us for an evening that honours culture, community, and the extraordinary legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo – a man whose courage and determination reshaped the history of this country. The program will feature live music, spoken word, short films, and a joyful ukulele sing-along, all creating a heartfelt and vibrant tribute.

Mabo Day is marked annually on 3 June. It commemorates Mer Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo and his successful efforts to overturn the legal fiction of terra nullius, or ‘land belonging to no-one’. The Mabo decision was a watershed moment in Australian history. In addition to overturning a long-held colonial myth, it paved the way for subsequent native title claims.
