Canberra and Region Heritage Festival online registration
The Canberra and Region Heritage Festival is back for 4 weeks of heritage events. It is on from Friday 18 April to Sunday 11 May 2025.
Discover historical treasures and stories as part of the 2025 theme ‘Unearthed’. The theme encourages you to:
- reveal the past
- bring to light lesser-known histories, stories and narratives
- unearth knowledge
- empower younger generations as custodians of culture and traditions.
Lead the community in celebrating our rich and enduring natural, First Nations, cultural, and historic heritage.
