Join us this August at the Caboolture Historical Village for Heritage Day!
Heritage Day is designed to educate and connect people to local history, demonstrate traditional methods used to build, make, bake, and create, and show the skilled art forms of craftsmen and craftswomen of yesterday. The event will also include displays of our Flora and Fauna with wildlife specialist animal rescue groups.
Our historical village is filled with period history and is the perfect backdrop for an event all about our local area. Defined by the period predating 1945 we will showcase vintage and veteran aspects. Kids will have opportunities to get hands-on and try skills and work machines of old with our special “Give it a Go” elements.
Some of the featured displays and demonstrations include:
• Vintage & Veteran Cars, Motorcycles
• Luthier (guitar maker)
• Blacksmithing
• Family History groups
• Small engine machinery
• Lace Makers Guild
• Artisans Guild - Local Art Gallery display (in the Citadel)
• Spinners and Weavers
• Military Displays
• Vintage Market – Steampunk paraphernalia, handmade soaps, fruit wines, old-fashioned candy, and Fudge.
• CWA - knitting, felting, quilting, preserves and jams.
• Much more still in progress….
The event will include live entertainment in the form of both static and roving elements as well as special displays of local history to compliment the history on display in the village. To add to the atmosphere, we have invited the steampunk community to add their 18th-century dress with a modern twist. Many of our exhibitors will be dressed in the style of the different periods.

Entertainment includes:
• Bushranger Re-enactments
• Redcliffe Scottish Pipe Band
• Blarney Stone Celtic Band – Playing in the hotel.
• Dance Kaleidoscope (18th-century country dance in costume) – roving performances.
