Welcome to the 2020 Australian Heritage Festival in South Australia

Are you ready to celebrate Australian heritage for another year? Then we are excited to welcome you to the 2020 Australian Heritage Festival.

The Australian Heritage Festival is a great opportunity to discover amazing places, meet new people and explore the stories behind our unique heritage places. Across South Australia throughout the month of May you will find a host of things to see and do. This year’s theme is Our Heritage for the Future.

The Australian Heritage Festival in South Australia is a curated program. In May we also join with the History Trust of South Australia to present the South Australian History Festival with events at locations across the state. Look for some events near you on this website or at www.historyfestival.sa.gov.au.
