EXPLORE, DISCOVER, CONNECT: NSW CELEBRATES AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE FESTIVAL 2025
An annual celebration of natural, historic and Indigenous heritage, 2025 marks the 45th year of the Australian Heritage Festival, which features FREE and ticketed events and activities for all ages, interests and budgets.
The NSW programme of the 2025 Australian Heritage Festival will open on World Heritage Day, Friday, 18 April, and continue daily until Sunday, 18 May 2025 (inclusive), with a choc-full calendar of 150 attractions.
The 2025 Australian Heritage Festival NSW calendar includes special exhibitions, walks, tours of historical sites, performances, food experiences, ceremonies, demonstrations, and other curated attractions to bring heritage to life for all.
Spanning metropolitan and regional areas of the state, this year’s Festival theme is Unearthed, with a unique and engaging programme designed to reveal the past, bring to light lesser-known histories and stories, and unearth knowledge to empower younger generations as custodians of culture and tradition.
The Australian Heritage Festival is organised, promoted, facilitated, and led by the National Trust. It connects communities and provides patronage and support to many worthwhile organisations, such as not-for-profit and community groups, businesses, councils, conservation groups, museums, galleries, libraries, spiritual places, and others.
The NSW Government, through Heritage NSW, is the principal sponsor of the Australian Heritage Festival and the National Trust Heritage Awards, which is the festival's signature event.
