Illawarra Women’s Day of Dance & Culture

TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

Date: Friday 5th September 2025
Venue: Wollongong Town Hall (Lunch Event)

In 2021, Illawarra community leader Margaret Biggs connected with Rosemary Kariuki, a Multicultural Liaison Officer with the NSW Police Force and Australian of the Year – Local Hero 2021. Rosemary, well known for her work empowering migrant women who are facing domestic violence, language barriers and financial distress established African Dance Events in Sydney as a means of fostering inclusion and joy among migrant and refugee communities. Inspired by Rosemary’s efforts, Margaret brought together like-minded individuals and organisations to establish the Illawarra Women’s Day of Dance and Culture (IWDDC).

The Illawarra Women’s Day of Dance and Culture has become a much-loved event, bringing women together to make connections, learn about their community, and feel a sense of belonging. It also serves as a vital opportunity for inter-sectoral collaboration between local organisations, helping women access the social and health services they need to thrive in the Illawarra.

We’re currently seeking sponsorship partners to help make our 2025 event even bigger and better!

Your support will help cover costs for attendees and ensure local health and community services can host free info stalls and connect with women on the day.

Interested in supporting the event? We’d love to hear from you.

And for those who want to attend, stay tunned for updates! Tickets will be release in July!
