Welcome
To the ÅŒamaru Heritage Celebrations 2024
The ÅŒamaru Heritage Celebrations re-create the colour and atmosphere of 19th-century ÅŒamaru and Waitaki. The many 19th-century limestone buildings in the town and around the region are the setting for a range of events throughout the week including dances, traditional music, Victorian-style food, historical talks, a garden party, Victorian fashion, penny farthing races, concerts, and more.
ÅŒamaru is home of the famous Harbour Street Victorian Precinct, with fascinating stories about how the town’s “boom-and-bust” ​history created these unique streetscapes.
​
Whether you are watching, participating or both, in street clothes, Victorian fashion, or your own style, the ÅŒamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations offers something for everyone to enjoy.
