2025 Australian Heritage Festival in NSW to deliver raft of offerings

This year’s National Trust Australian Heritage Festival – the nation’s largest community-driven heritage event will see the NSW arm of the Festival being held from 18th April to18th May daily. The opening of the Festival coincides with World Heritage Day.

Spanning Sydney-metro to regional areas, the 2025 Australian Heritage Festival in NSW features 150 free and ticketed attractions including special exhibitions, walks, tours of historical sites, performances, food experiences, ceremonies, demonstrations, and other curated events and activities to bring heritage to life for all.

An annual celebration of natural, historic and Indigenous heritage, 2025 marks the 45th year of the Festival, with this year’s theme being ‘Unearthed’.

The engaging programme has been 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 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.

The Australian Heritage Festival is organised, promoted, facilitated, and led by the National Trust. It not only connects communities but also 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 principal sponsor of the Australian Heritage Festival and the National Trust Heritage Awards, which is the signature event of the Australian Heritage Festival.

Registrations for event organisers to be part of the 2025 Australian Heritage Festival are now open.

The 2025 Australian Heritage Festival NSW full calendar will be released soon via australianheritagefestival.org.au, where people can now subscribe for Festival updates.
