This year the AACC Texas, Australian Consulate and TANZOT joined together to host a special ANZAC Day Community Event at Bear Creek Park on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The day commemorated the anniversary of the Gallipoli landing and paid tribute to the brave Australian and New Zealand military personnel who served their nations.
ANZAC Day reminds us that heroism transcends borders. The values of mateship, courage, and sacrifice that define the ANZAC spirit continue to inspire communities worldwide, strengthening the bonds between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Our community picnic was a time to come together as three nations to connect, remember and honor.
Lest we forget.
