Australia Day is the perfect excuse to gather friends and family, enjoy the summer sunshine and celebrate with a laid-back Aussie vibe. Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, a beachside get-together or a family-friendly celebration, choosing the right party theme makes all the difference. Below are some of the most popular Australia Day party themes that Australians love, along with decoration ideas to help you bring each one to life using party supplies from Everything Party Ryde.
Classic Aussie BBQ Party
The traditional Aussie BBQ is a favourite for Australia Day celebrations. Think sizzling sausages, prawns on the grill and relaxed outdoor seating. This theme is all about keeping things casual while showing off national pride.
Decorate your space with Australian flag banners, table covers and themed tableware in red, white and blue. Add matching balloons and bunting around the BBQ area to instantly create a festive atmosphere. Aussie-themed aprons and accessories are also a fun touch for hosts and guests alike.
Australian Flag Party Theme
If you love bold and patriotic styling, an Australian flag theme never disappoints. This theme works well for homes, parks, community events and even corporate gatherings.
Use large Australian flags as backdrops, flag bunting along fences or walls, and matching table decorations to tie everything together. Small details like flag wavers, hats and themed cups help elevate the look and make the celebration feel more immersive.
Pool or Beach Party Theme
With Australia Day falling in the height of summer, pool and beach party themes are extremely popular. This theme is perfect for cooling off while keeping the celebration fun and vibrant.
Decorate with blue, white and red balloons, beach-themed props and lightweight tableware. Add Aussie bucket hats and summer accessories to keep guests comfortable under the sun. This theme pairs perfectly with outdoor music, cold drinks and relaxed seating.
Backyard Games and Cricket Party
For many Australians, backyard cricket is a must on Australia Day. This theme focuses on fun, friendly competition and a strong sense of Aussie tradition.
Set up a simple games area and decorate with flags, bunting and colour-themed markers. Use themed plates and drinkware for easy outdoor serving, and create small prize packs using novelty Australia Day accessories for game winners.
Family-Friendly Picnic Party
A picnic-style Australia Day party is ideal for families and mixed-age groups. It’s relaxed, social and easy to set up in a backyard or local park.
Use picnic blankets, portable tables and Australia Day-themed tableware to create a welcoming setup. Bright balloons, small flags and simple decorations help add colour without overwhelming the space. This theme works especially well for daytime celebrations with kids.
