Ballarat Heritage Weekend
11 - 12 May 2013
Ballarat Heritage Weekend, held over the Mother's Day weekend in
May, offers a huge program of free entertainment, activities,
tours, and experiences. Designed each year to showcase different
elements of our shared heritage and the rich historic assets of
Ballarat.
This year the event will showcase Stories of
Entertainment.
Starting from the historic Lydiard Street Mining Exchange,
follow the trail through Ballarat's most impressive heritage
buildings, many of which are not normally open the public. Along
the way, activities, live music and street performers will amuse
the young and young at heart. If you are willing they will take you
on a nostalgic journey of the City's bygone entertainment
highlights and past times.
For a faster tempo, you can ride a double decker bus, cruise the
Lake on the Begonia Princess or get on Steamrail
Victoria's Y Class Steam Engine out to Lal Lal and back. Take a
National Trust guided tour along our famous streetscapes, explore
our murky past on the night time Ghost tour, or simply wander along
at your own pace.
