Published on 24 February 2025

Locals are invited to participate in a variety of free community events and activities offered as part of this year’s International Women’s Day celebrations.

International Women’s Day is Saturday 8 March and this year’s theme is March Forward, a reminder that direct action is required to achieve gender equality.

“International Women’s Day is an opportunity to come together and reflect on the contributions and achievements of women in Campbelltown and across Australia,” said Mayor Darcy Lound.

“This year’s program is a chance for everyone in our community to celebrate these women, with an extensive community program focused on skill building, wellbeing and empowerment, in the heart of our CBD,” said Cr Lound.

Events will begin on Friday 7 March with a Bush Safety Bush Walk at Kentlyn, from 8am to 10am, and a Community Picnic at Mawson Park, where everyone can enjoy stalls and activities hosted by local organisations and community groups, from 10am to 12pm.

Locals can reserve their spot in a variety of women’s health and fitness activities at Forum Q, from 12.30 to 6pm, including a guided Zumba class, spinal and posture check, and self-defence session.

Mindfulness and wellbeing activities can also be booked at Aviary On Q, featuring therapy tutorials, a breathworks session, art therapy and flower arrangement workshops.

All activities are free at Forum Q and Aviary On Q, however bookings are required.
