It will be the seventh year that the suburban Tigers have undertaken the initiative on what has become one of the biggest days on the club's calendar.
Sydney 2000 Olympic games hurdling representative Kyle Vander Kuyp and former Bangarra Indigenous dancer Rheannan Port will also be guests of honour and will speak at the club's pre-match luncheon.
There will be the traditional pre-game dance and welcome to country performed by Indigenous dancers, speech and coin toss before the senior's game, with presentations afterwards.
Full canteen and bar facilities will be available, with a raffle at the gate and other raffles held in the bar during the day.
A jumping castle will be on site for the kids, plus showbags and full lift access is available to the clubrooms for elderly and disabled patrons.
The Rocherlea club said the Indigenous match usually attracted a big crowd, with about 2000 attending last year - the best turnout in the state.
The game is part of AFL Tasmania's 150th year of football celebrations.
