Joint committee chairs Sharlene Cruickshank and Marilyn Brown said the family fun day program was a free event packed full of entertainment for the whole family.
"This year, similar to past years, there will be multiple stall holders, talented local entertainment, the popular Koori Kook Off and a NAIDOC themed colouring-in competition," they said.
"It is an event not to be missed."
This year the event will also be filmed as a documentary.
The program includes traditional Indigenous dance, musicians and singers, while there will be rides and a variety of activities for the whole family.
Cullunghutti Aboriginal Child and Family Centre is once again the driving force behind the event, while the Department of Human Services FaCS, NSW Aboriginal Affairs, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Community Industry Group, Wellways, St Vincent De Paul, Grand Pacific Health and Stocklands Nowra have backed the Shoalhaven Family Fun Day.
