Anzac Day 2026: Where to attend services across South East Queensland

From dawn services at suburban cenotaphs to major marches through city centres, dozens of South East Queensland events are planned to mark Anzac Day 2026.

About 580 services are planned statewide, which RSL Queensland says is more than in any previous year.

For those planning to attend, most dawn services commence between 4am and 5.30am, followed by mid-morning marches and commemorative services.

Tens-of-thousands of attendees are expected in the Brisbane CBD. Some rain is likely.

“Together we get to reflect on loss and sacrifice and the dawn service does that for us,” Queensland RSL president Major General Stephen Day said at Anzac Square on Friday morning.

“It is right that we reflect on the sacrifices of all of those [who have died], and think about the freedoms and the opportunities that they gave to us.”

Attendees are encouraged to check details below for specific arrival times and locations to ensure they can pay their respects alongside their local community.
