The Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebration is one of the stunning Waitaki region’s biggest annual events. Its a week when Oamaru celebrates its heritage and has huge fun doing so.  A week where everyone is welcomed and given the rare chance to experience all the sights, sounds, tastes, and activities of a bygone era. Expect the men’s beards to be handsomely groomed, the women’s corsets fastidiously tightened and much merriment to be had by young and old alike.

This year the celebrations will be extra special, as it is the 20th year  the event has  been held. The theme for this years  heritage week is : sport.
