140th Heritage Festival

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.
