In Croydon, history doesn’t sit quietly behind glass. It greets you on the street, catches your eye in unexpected corners, and quietly reminds you that this small outback town once played a very big role in Queensland’s story.
In 2026, Croydon celebrates 140 years since gold changed everything, and the Heritage Festival invites you to be part of that story — not just to observe it, but to experience it.
For one special week from 20 to 26 June, the town comes together to celebrate what makes Croydon so deeply loved: its stories, its creativity, and its strong sense of community.
Event date: Saturday 2 May 2026
Baerami Bush Dance is a truly authentic and fun-filled bush dance at the beautifully timber-lined Baerami Hall in the Upper Hunter Valley, featuring traditional acoustic music performed by musicians from the Hunter Valley.
Dances are explained, and you don't need a partner. The event is family-friendly.
Bring your own dinner and drinks, and a supper to share. Camp at the hall, or stay at nearby accommodation. A well-equipped kitchen is available to prepare your food, and there is space to sit for dinner inside the hall.
A ticketing website will be provided closer to the dance. More information available HERE.
