Best Answer

No Australian "celebrates" ANZAC day. We commemorate ANZAC day, meaning we remember the ANZACs who lost their lives during the Gallipoli campaign of WW1. The reason this campaign is so important to Australia is because it was where Australia's national identity was forged. Where for the first time Australia fought as its own force, therefore becoming an integral part of the Australian identity.

They don't. They commemorate it, in order to honour those in the defence forces who have lost their lives fighting for, or on behalf of, our country. ANZAC Day is a day of solemn remembrance. Although originally a day of remembrance for those troops in WWI who gave their lives in the campaign at Gallipoli, it has now extended to include those involved in all wars.

What event does ANZAC Day celebrate?

ANZAC Day is not a celebration, it is a commemoration and remembrance of the sacrifice made by others on our behalf. ANZAC Day is on the 25th of April and commemorates the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli during World War 1. ANZAC stands for "Australia and New Zealand Army Corps" and it is a connection we will have with the Kiwis forever.
