Heritage Festival 2026

24 April - 9 May 2026

Do you have an interesting take on the history of the City of Melton, its residents and the surrounding areas?

Work with us to create an event for the Melton Heritage Festival 2026!

We are open to many forms of exploration of the past, including but not limited to exhibitions, historical tours, artistic performances, author talks, historical skills workshops and musical renditions.

The 2026 Heritage Festival will run from Friday 24 April to Saturday 9 May 2026, alongside the National Trust Australian Heritage Festival. 

We can help you with venue hire, booking management, marketing, and research support, if required.

To be eligible for inclusion in the City of Melton Heritage Festival 2026 program your event must align with the 2026 statewide Australian Heritage Festival Victoria theme.

The theme for this years’ Heritage Festival is Change– exploring how history shapes us and how we change history. 

Your event must also take place in the City of Melton and be free to attend.

To express your interest, complete the 2026 Heritage Festival application form by Friday 9 January 2026.
