Melton City Libraries' annual Heritage Festival is a celebration of all things historical in the City of Melton. Over two action-packed weeks, we'll bring you an exciting line-up of events and programs for all ages. Explore creative workshops, author talks, exhibitions, family-friendly activities and more!

The theme for this years’ Heritage Festival is unearthed – revealing the past, and bringing to light some of our City’s lesser-known stories. We are so excited to share them with you.
