Australia Day 2026: 21 Gun Salute at the Shrine of Remembrance
26 January is a time to Reflect, Respect and Celebrate.
On Australia Day Victorians are invited to witness a 21-gun salute by the Royal Australian Artillery at the Lower Forecourt of the Shrine of Remembrance.
The salute is a ceremony that originated in the 14th century. It is considered a gesture of friendship and trust.
The 21-gun salute will be held from 12:00pm, concluding at 12:15pm.
Guests to the forecourt are advised that the guns will be very loud. Those bringing children or pets are recommended to maintain an appropriate distance from the salute.
The Royal Australian Airforce Roulettes will perform a spectacular aerial display which can be seen from the Shine of Remembrance.
The Shrine of Remembrance is just a short walk or from Government House. Guests to the salute may also be interested in attending the Government House Open Day, running on the same day from 10:30am to 4:30pm.
