The National Trust Heritage Festival is held across Australia each year to coincide with Heritage Week.
The theme of this year’s festival is ‘Having a Voice’, with an incredible range of events across the state celebrating our unique heritage.

The Tasmanian Heritage Festival represents the state’s largest celebration of cultural heritage and a wide range of community groups, schools, heritage organisations and local businesses participate in the program.
