THE spirit of reconciliation, competition and culture will take centre stage in Riverview this NAIDOC Week, with Queensland set to host the inaugural First Nations National Reconciliation Darts Tournament.
Held across Friday through Sunday at the West Moreton Darts Association and Carole Park Districts Darts Association, the landmark event is much more than a sporting competition.
Celebrating this year’s NAIDOC Week theme, “50 Years of Deadly”, the tournament has been designed to unite First Nations communities from across Australia through sport while strengthening cultural connections, promoting reconciliation and creating opportunities for people of all ages to come together.
The weekend begins with a free Community Day on Friday, transforming the West Moreton Darts Association into a vibrant celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
Families can enjoy free food and drinks, traditional dance performances, live music, health and community information stalls, free haircuts and a range of activities designed to showcase culture while connecting people with important local services.
A Welcome to Country, traditional dance performances from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups, and the introduction of the Indigenous All Stars ahead of their clash against the 2026 Queensland Team will headline the day’s entertainment.
Organisers hope the event will encourage the wider community to celebrate NAIDOC Week while highlighting the importance of cultural pride, inclusion and community wellbeing.
