APRIL & MAY

Experience the oldest city marathon in Australia at The Canberra Times Marathon Festival (13 April). This prestigious event offers five different distances that each incorporate amazing sites in the capital.

For four days of music, folk dance, and community, head to the National Folk Festival (17-21 April). With multiple stages, workshops, dance spaces, markets, food stalls, and even on-site camping, this festival has your long weekend sorted. Be warned though, the saying goes that once you’ve gone to the festival just once, you’ll want to come back year after year.

Spend your Anzac Day paying your respects to those who have served, at the Australian War Memorial’s Anzac Day Dawn Service (25 April) or by attending a daily Last Post Ceremony.
