This year-long festival is a tribute to the enduring contributions of our community, past and present. Through exhibitions, storytelling, and engaging events, we will explore the rich landscape of traditions, memories, and shared experiences that have shaped our identity.
Whether you are a long-standing member of our community or discovering its history for the first time, there is something for everyone. With a gala night, historical bus tours, curated exhibitions, and a history conference, the festival offers numerous opportunities to connect, contribute, and celebrate together. We encourage you to explore our website for updates, event details, and ways to get involved. Bring your stories, photographs, and artifacts—or simply your enthusiasm—as we honour our shared past and build a legacy for future generations.
Let’s make history together!.
