In 2004, former AFL legend Michael Long decided that something needed to be done about the plight of the Indigenous community, so he walked from his home in Melbourne all the way to Parliament House in Canberra. The Long Walk was born, with money raised to support Indigenous education programs across the country.

Michael Long and the Long Walk return to Melbourne each year with live music performed by some of Australia’s leading Indigenous artists, free sport and art activations for the family, and food trucks to keep us all going.

This free event is for all communities to come together and celebrate First Nations Peoples and Cultures.
