Essendon Fields is proud to invite you to come along to their fourth Little Long Walk during NAIDOC Week 2025.
NAIDOC Week in 2025 marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.
This years event is more than just a walk—it's a meaningful step toward recognition, unity, and action, and a powerful way to embody the spirit of the 2025 NAIDOC theme.
Grab your family, friends or team together and join us for a tasty morning tea from LaManna and cultural presentations at Dutton One Essendon Fields. Following, grab a hot coffee sponsored by Dutton One Essendon Fields and join us for a walk around the precinct in solidarity, strengthening our relationship to country, and keeping the momentum going.
Included in your ticket price will be a piece of exclusive event merchandise, a coffee sponsored by Dutton One Essendon Fields, morning tea donated by LaManna and a donation to The Long Walk Foundation.
