Australian Heritage Festival Events at the BMI
Be a part of this Statewide Celebration of Heritage
The Australian Heritage Festival (Victoria), presented by the National Trust, is a month-long opportunity to celebrate and share the stories, places, and traditions that shape Victoria’s cultural, built, and natural heritage.
Running from 18 April to 18 May 2026, this year’s theme, Change, invites all Victorians to uncover the ways history continues to shape us—and how we are shaping history in return.
After a record-breaking 2025, with over 320 events, we’re excited to make the 2026 Festival even bigger
