Heritage Festival

Next date: Wednesday, 21 May 2025 | 08:00 PM to Saturday, 31 May 2025 | 04:30 PM

The Australian Heritage Festival takes place annually throughout during April and May.

The 2025 festival theme is Unearthed – revealing the past, bringing to light lesser-known histories and stories, and unearthing knowledge to empower younger generations as custodians of culture and tradition.

QPRC have participated in the National and ACT region festivals for over a decade, celebrating the wealth of heritage, art and culture in our region. The festival is an opportunity for the community to access events and exhibitions, gather stories and tell them, celebrate through ceremony and performances, share knowledge through talks, walks and tours, and have fun bringing heritage to life.

We have an exciting calendar of events coming for you, with some of the highlights of the Queanbeyan-Palerang 2025 Heritage Festival including:

• Watercolour Vistas – H.G. Lloyds Historic Landscapes from the State Library of NSW
• Museum Open Days
• Fake and Famous art exhibition at our 1862 Rusten House Art Centre
• Heritage Awards for building restorations and renovations in our LGA
• Heritage Workshops and Public talks across the region
• Heritage walking tours in Queanbeyan and Braidwood
• Heritage Art Awards

The Us Mob Writing workshop on 10 May has been cancelled.
