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.
