Queenstown RSA president David Geddes said he encouraged anyone interested to gather at the Memorial Gates beside the park at Marine Pde.
The parade would start at 9.30am, leading the procession towards the Memorial Hall, where the Anzac Day service would be held at 10am, he said.
"We have about 50 members of the Queenstown RSA, but usually see 500-600 people attend the parade and service, so we are expecting standing room only for the service," Mr Geddes said.
The Last Post would be performed by Queenstown resident Trevor Tattersfield, and after the service there would be a dedication beside the cross outside the Memorial Hall.
On Poppy Day, Friday, April 23, voluntary collectors would be on the streets.
On the Saturday, collection boxes would be set up outside the New World supermarket.
"The support we get in Queenstown, both from locals and visitors, is truly amazing, and often comes from unexpected sources.
"A couple of bars in town have asked for collection boxes and, for example, a place like the Subculture nightclub has collected large amounts for RSA over the past years.
This is a place where young people go to have a good time, so it is great that they still want to support us.
"It is very humbling to see all this support.
Therefore, we have decided to put on a concert event this year, as an opportunity to give something back to the community," Mr Geddes said.
The concert would be at the Memorial Hall on the evening of Anzac Day.
Mr Geddes said it would be a mixture of music and short plays.
The Lynch Mob had been confirmed among the performers.
He said the show would illustrate New Zealand's involvements in wars from the Gallipoli landing during World War 1 up to the present day.
There would be music from different periods, and letters from New Zealand servicemen would be read out.
"Remembering our soldiers should be a community thing, and that is why we offer a spectacular evening event, while only charging a low ticket price to cover our costs.
It is a chance for people to get together in remembrance."
- RSA concert at Memorial Hall, Anzac Day, April 25, 7-9pm. Admission is $5, or $10 for a family ticket.
•The Arrowtown RSA will commemorate Anzac Day by assembling outside the Athenaeum Hall at 10am.
The parade will enter the hall at 10.15am and the service will begin at 10.30am.
Territorial Force chaplain the Rev Anthony Harrison will conduct the service.
Parade marshall Don Spary and the Queenstown and Southern Lakes Highland Pipe Band will lead the procession from the hall to Memorial Hill shortly after 11am.
Wreaths will be laid and Queenstown bugler Martin Wightman will play the Last Post and reveille.
About 20 of the Arrowtown RSA's 25 members were expected to participate, president Rupert Iles said.
A dozen of the veterans served overseas, mostly in World War 2 and one on a peace-keeping mission.
The Arrowtown Volunteer Fire Brigade and Arrowtown Scouts will attend.
Mr Iles said the public turnout could be as high as 700, based on previous Anzac Days.
"Over the years, Arrowtown has seen increasing numbers attend the Anzac Day service and parade.
More people, young and old, are observing this significant day in our history and recognising its part in our heritage and nationhood."
RSA members and guests would retire to the Arrowtown Bowling Club afterwards.
