Australian Heritage Festival (Victoria) 2020
Registrations are now open for the National Trust Heritage Festival, Australia’s biggest and most diverse community driven Heritage Festival!
From 18 April to 19 May 2020 National Trust properties and Branches, community groups, local councils, individuals and other organisations will come together to celebrate our rich Aboriginal cultural heritage, historic buildings and places, natural and cultural landscapes, stories and oral histories, and the objects and ‘things’ that we treasure as a society.
The 2020 Australian Heritage Festival theme is Our heritage for the future. We invite organisations and individuals to register events that celebrate the places, practices, and traditions that enrich our daily lives. The Festival is an opportunity to foster an understanding of our shared cultural heritage, but also a reminder that it must be lived and celebrated in the present to ensure its preservation into the future.

- 290 events across metro and regional Victoria
- 140,000+ event attendees
- 20,000 printed programs distributed
