In previous years, Indigenous Literacy Day (ILF) celebrations have taken place at the Sydney Opera House, featuring children from remote communities, local schools and ILF ambassadors and supporters.

This year, due to COVID-19, the program runs online, bringing songs, stories, and performance to anyone with an internet connection.
