Anzac Day is a time to honour and acknowledge the service of all those who have aided in the defence of our nation, and this year on Saturday 25 April 2026, its spirit can be shared at many significant locations commemorating Anzac Day Central Coast.
There are confirmed dawn services, marches and commemorations right across the Central Coast. From beachfront services in Terrigal and The Entrance to local gatherings in Davistown, Empire Bay, Wyong and Woy Woy, there are plenty of ways to pause, pay your respects and be part of the day.
Here is a list of beautiful Anzac Day services you can attend.
