Veterans marching in the Anzac Day parade.

Palmerston North will come together to honour the sacrifices of New Zealand’s servicemen and women this Anzac Day, Saturday 25 April.

The city’s official commemorations will take place in Te Marae o Hine – The Square, with the Dawn Service at 6:00am, followed by the Civic Service at 9:00am.

These services provide an opportunity for the community to unite in remembrance, reflect on the courage of those who served, and acknowledge the freedoms we enjoy today.
