We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

First Gathering is a celebration of the vibrant First Nations cultures of Brisbane and marks the official opening of Clancestry 2025. This event invites you to pay respects to the ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy in a celebration of dance, song and culture.

This year, Clancestry will open with Community groups coming together on the Melbourne Street Green to celebrate our traditions and welcome our young ones to continue the legacy, handed down from our elders. Join us as we gather, like the generations have done before us, and celebrate the rich history of this country.

First Gathering is part of Clancestry. Find out more here.
