The NSW Koori Knockout is an annual event that brings together Aboriginal communities from across New South Wales. Described as Australia’s biggest celebration of Aboriginal sport, culture, and community, the 2026 event will take place at King Park in Raymond Terrace.

The festival is scheduled from 2 to 5 October 2026, and is expected to attract approximately 10,000 visitors daily.
