South Australia’s History Festival

History Trust of South Australia is proud to present South Australia’s History Festival.

The History Festival is one of South Australia’s largest community events. The festival promotes the State’s wonderful collections, places and stories through an amazing range of history-related activities. The History Festival began in 2004 as SA History Week and has grown each year, becoming a month-long festival in 2011. Its popularity and success is due to the hard work and enthusiasm of the event organisers, including thousands of volunteers, who are passionate about sharing our history.

The 2018 History Festival will open on 28 & 29 April with Open Doors: Built Heritage Weekend; a special weekend focusing on South Australia’s buildings and architectural history. Open Doors will provide an opportunity for people to see behind the façades and explore the state’s buildings in new ways.
