Deck Bar owner Jason Hanna said he was expecting a big crowd for the popular tradition.
“It really is a centre of entertainment,” he said.
“Particularly now that we’ve got other military forces taking part in the parade, particularly our American friends who are just excited to learn and get among the yee haws and the roar of the crowd.”
Mr Hanna said Darwin company Beaver Brewery would be supplying their special edition Digger’s beer, which will be available on tap at the bar during the day.
Activities kick off from 10am.
