Hear the bugle sound at the always-moving Dawn Service, and pay respect to serving Defence Personnel past and present. Then join the crowd of thousands to line the street to see Service Personnel and Veterans march. Hear rousing music, and watch out for the jet flyover!

Thousands of locals and Military Personnel converge on the Darwin Cenotaph every Anzac Day for the Dawn Service, followed by the Parade though Darwin City, with numerous other services held around the Northern Territory to pay respect to and remember the fallen.
