Special Olympics Opening Ceremony
Join the Social Spectrum community at the Opening Ceremony of the 2026 Special Olympics Australia National Games — we're grouping seats so our community can sit together.
🎉 Opening Ceremony — 2026 Special Olympics Australia National Games
We recently sat down with the Special Olympics team, and one thing stuck with us: inclusion and acceptance are just words until you actually show up.
That's why the Social Spectrum community is coming together to attend the Opening Ceremony and cheer on every athlete as they walk out.
📅 Monday, 19 October 2026
🕒 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne
The ceremony will bring together athletes, families, supporters, and the wider community to celebrate the start of the National Games.
Why register through this page?
Ticket pricing is the same as the official National Games site — we're not a discount channel. What we are offering is a seat next to the Social Spectrum community, so you can experience the ceremony alongside people who understand what showing up really means.
What to expect:
Seating grouped with other Social Spectrum families, supporters, and team members
A chance to connect with our community in person
An afternoon of celebrating inclusion in action, not just in words
Come show up with us. 🧡
