Events breathe even more life into this cool little capital. Not only does Canberra put on some of the nation’s biggest festivals and blockbuster exhibitions, we also have a thriving community calendar of colour, entertainment and family-friendly activities. Our events offer something for all interests, including art, food and wine, performance, music, markets and sport.

Our four distinct seasons bring opportunities to create events to suit the climate – with glorious Floriade in spring, the Truffle Festival in winter, Enlighten Festival in autumn and the power of Summernats in summer. That’s just a taste – start searching our event calendar to find what’s on in Canberra.
