News Illawarra Women’s Day of Dance & Culture 2025 The Illawarra Women’s Day of Dance & Culture once again brought women from across our region together for a vibrant day of connection, celebration and wellbeing. With around 200 people filling the room, the atmosphere was alive with energy, colour and community spirit. This year’s theme, “Take Me to the Island,” celebrated the bold rhythms and vibrant traditions of the Pasifika islands. The day featured joyful dance performances, shared cultural experiences, and plenty of moments that reminded us of the strength that comes from coming together. Alongside the dancing, women had the chance to access free health checks and explore a wide range of information and support services. Stallholders included: Multicultural Communities of the Illawarra (MMCI) Women Illawarra Wollongong City Council Multicultural Health (ISLHD) Supported Accommodation & Homelessness Services Shoalhaven (SAHSSI) Illawarra Multicultural Services Illawarra Women’s Health Centre BreastScreen NSW NSW Police WEA Illawarra The mix of culture, health and community support made the day both meaningful and practical, a space where women could dance, connect, and also learn more about services available to them. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in making the day possible, from performers and stallholders to the women who filled the room with energy and spirit. Your contribution helped create an unforgettable event that continues to strengthen our community.
