Service information

Tauranga will commemorate Anzac Day on Saturday, 25 April with several services held across the city.

We encourage the community to attend a local service and stand together in commemoration.

This year there will be no separate Mount Maunganui Civic Service. Instead, the Tauranga Civic Memorial Service at 9.30am will incorporate both the Tauranga and Mount Maunganui RSAs.
