The Australian Heritage Festival is the nation’s largest community-driven celebration of heritage, proudly presented by National Trust Australia.

For more than 40 years, the Festival has connected communities across Australia through a shared passion for our stories, places, and traditions. From bustling cities to quiet country towns, the Festival brings heritage to life through thousands of events that invite people to discover, reflect, and celebrate.

In 2026, National Trust Queensland once again joins the national celebration, showcasing the people, places, and ideas that continue to shape our state. Events will unfold across the month in every corner of Queensland — in museums and libraries, on the street and by the water, in boats, trains, gardens, and historic buildings — each offering a unique window into our diverse heritage.
