The Albany 2026 Events Program
The Albany 2026 program features a dynamic mix of Major Events and community-led initiatives that place the Albany community at the heart of this historic milestone.
Supported by Lotterywest, the Major Events will unite people through powerful arts and cultural experiences that celebrate diverse perspectives, advance reconciliation, and preserve Albany’s rich heritage for future generations. From immersive exhibitions and performances to storytelling and hands-on workshops, these events honour the past while shaping a vibrant, inclusive future.
Complementing the Major Events is a wide range of community-led activations that reflect the region’s deep cultural roots and future aspirations. Together, the program fosters shared cultural expression, intergenerational dialogue, and a lasting legacy for the Great Southern.
