Australian Heritage Festival

The Australian Heritage Festival is an annual celebration of natural, built and cultural heritage.

The nation's largest community-driven heritage event, this year marks the 46th year of the Festival which features free and ticketed events and activities to bring heritage to life for all ages and interests.

The month-long, NSW programme of the Australian Heritage Festival will open on World Heritage Day Saturday.

Spanning metropolitan and regional areas of the state, the Festival programme includes concerts and performances, special exhibitions, talks and panels, walks, tours of heritage homes and historical sites, food experiences, workshops, family-friendly outdoor events and other curated attractions.

The Australian Heritage Festival is organised, promoted, facilitated and led by the National Trust. It not only connects communities but also provides patronage and support to worthwhile organisations such as not-for-profit and community groups, businesses, councils, conservation groups, museums, galleries, libraries, spiritual places, and others.

The NSW Government through Heritage NSW is principal sponsor of the Australian Heritage Festival and the National Trust Heritage Awards, which is the signature event of the Australian Heritage Festival.
