Commemorating the arrival the First Fleet at Sydney Cove on 26th January 1788, celebrations include the Australia Day Parade through the city streets and a concert, usually held in the Domain, featuring Australian artists and musicians. Award-giving ceremonies such as Australian of the Year and Young Australian of the Year are also a traditional part of the day. Australia Day is a public holiday, though many shops are open. It is always celebrated on the day itself rather than as part of a long weekend.
