Albany 2026

Albany is hosting Western Australia’s first bicentenary in 2026, acknowledging the first place where Aboriginal and British people commenced living together on the western side of Australia.

​

At the heart of Albany 2026 is a story far older than two centuries. This is Menang Noongar Boodja; ancient country with deep cultural roots, where stories have been passed down for countless generations and continue to be shared today.

A year-long program of major cultural events focused on honest reflection, community celebration, and future focused aspirations will form the foundation of this milestone.
