Southern Forest and Valleys Heritage Festival
Southern Forest and Valleys Heritage Festival
Celebrate the Rich Heritage of the Southern Forests & Valleys
Step into the past and celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of the Southern Forests & Valleys region. The Heritage Festival invites you to explore the natural, cultural, and historical treasures that define our unique landscape — from the rolling hills of Bridgetown to the towering forests of Pemberton, Manjimup, Nannup, Northcliffe, Walpole, and beyond.
Across the region, you’ll find historic tours, interactive workshops, family‑friendly events, heritage walks, live demonstrations, open days, storytelling sessions, and hands‑on cultural experiences. Each activity offers a deeper appreciation for the people, places, and stories that have shaped this remarkable corner of Western Australia.
Event Details
Pemberton plays a special role in the celebration, with its rich timber heritage, historic mill town roots, and breathtaking karri forests. Visitors can explore local history through guided walks, heritage sites, artisan markets, and community events that highlight the town’s unique character and deep connection to the land.
A Festival for All Ages
Whether you’re a history lover, a nature enthusiast, a curious traveller, or a family looking for a meaningful day out, the festival offers something for everyone. It’s a chance to uncover the past, share timeless traditions, and spark inspiration for the future.
