Every April and May thousands of event organisers and volunteers across Australia manage over 1,400 events to celebrate our fantastic heritage, history and culture.

In 2017 the festival will be even more inclusive and community inspired. We're excited to announce a new name and branding, designed to help us reach beyond our traditional boundaries, and help people, families and communities form greater connections with their local heritage. We're providing more useful information, tips and help than ever before to ensure your event is a success.

Please join us and get involved for what will be an amazing celebration.

Note: Some States have additional event organiser information and requirements so please explore the “Festival Near Me” menu before registering to find your relevant local state information.
