On Sunday 6 April, the Palestinian community in Adelaide held their annual Palestinian Cultural Day organized by Palestinian Australians at the suburban beachfront of Semaphore. Hundreds of people attended the Cultural Day. There were activities for children, Palestinian live bands and solo artists, and plenty of Palestinian food. 

Notable political attendees were one state ALP Upper House MP, the first Moslem MP in SA Parliament, a Greens Party MP and an Australia's Voice Senate candidate for South Australia, Jordan Shane. Australia's Voice is the Party started up by Senator Fatima Payman from Western Australia. 

There were also several organizations supporting the Day, including AFOPA and Health Workers for Palestine.

Australia is home to First Nations Peoples on whose land many people from many different backgrounds and cultures have come to start a new life. Cultural events are held by many of these diverse communities.

What made this Palestinian Cultural Day of 6 April 2025 so special was that it expressed values of solidarity, optimism and determination by Palestinians despite the continued attempts by the US backed Zionist regime to destroy all remnants of Palestinian culture and Palestinian life itself.
