The Australian Heritage Festival is an annual event that immerses us into the rich and diverse heritage our country has to offer. In Western Australia, the festival is both a celebration and reflection on the natural and cultural heritage of the state, taking place during April and May each year.
The festival theme for 2025 is Unearthed – revealing the past, bringing to light lesser-known histories and stories, and unearthing knowledge to empower younger generations as custodians of culture and tradition.
This year, from 18 April to 18 May, Mandurah Museum invites you to explore a series of exciting events for all ages. Immerse yourself in the vibrant cultural and historical heritage of Mandurah through a variety of engaging experiences.
