Latest News About When Is Anzac Day 2026

ANZAC Day 2026 falls on Saturday, April 25, 2026.

Key public-holiday notes for 2026:

• In several Australian jurisdictions, Anzac Day being on a Saturday means additional or substitute holidays may occur on the following Monday in some states (e.g., ACT, NSW alignment discussions noted for 2026 and 2027) [sources indicate NSW and ACT planning adjustments for 2026/2027; check your state’s official public holiday schedule closer to the date].[2][4][5]
• Dawn services and commemorations occur nationwide on April 25, regardless of the day of week; many services start in the pre-dawn hours with gatherings and marches subsequently.[3][7]

What this means for you in Grapevine, Texas:

• Anzac Day is not a public holiday in the United States, so there will be no government-mestone closure here [general knowledge; no citation needed for local U.S. practice].
• If you’re tracking Australian/NZ coverage or planning travel, you’ll want to reference Australia’s state/territory public-holiday notices for 2026, which consistently mark April 25 as the national day of remembrance and may add a secondary holiday in some jurisdictions.[5][3]

Illustration (example planning):

• If you’re attending a dawn service with Australian friends, expect most events to be scheduled on the early morning of Saturday, April 25, 2026, with larger city marches in the late morning to midday in major capitals.[7][3]
