This year, for the fourth time since the 2011 earthquakes, we will be returning to Cathedral Square under the Citizen’s War Memorial.
The commemorations that mark Australia and New Zealand’s Gallipoli campaign will begin at 6.15am when veterans and servicemen, active and retired, will gather at the Worcester Bridge and then parade the short distance to Cathedral Square for the traditional dawn service.
The New Zealand Army Band will perform at the service, which will end with the playing of the Last Post, a minute’s silence, and then the singing of the New Zealand national anthem.
For those unable to make it in person, the service will be available at the Anzac Day Dawn Service 2026 live stream.
