Australian Heritage Festival

The Australian Heritage Festival is the country's largest community-driven celebration of heritage.

For more than 40 years the National Trust has connected the nation through the Australian Heritage Festival celebrations. Spanning cities and regions across Australia, the Festival offers unique opportunities for the community to engage with the country’s rich and diverse stories, bringing heritage to life for thousands of people to enjoy.

Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council celebrates Heritage Week in April and May each year by organising activities that showcase and celebrate our natural, built and cultural heritage. 

Every year Queanbeyan Landcare creates events around the nominated theme.
