Christchurch Heritage Festival
The Christchurch Heritage Festival is an annual festival held in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula to celebrate the heritage of our district. Christchurch Heritage Festival 2025 will run from Saturday 11 October to Monday 27 October (Labour Day). The theme is "Building Place - evolving communities".
The Christchurch Heritage Festival is an opportunity to share the stories of the past that link us to this place. He tātai muka, he tātai tangata – weave together the strands, weave together the people.
