The Festival of Halls is an Albany Bicentennial project that aims to bring communities and visitors together in a celebration of Arts in Heritage Halls.
Seven Heritage Halls from across the Albany region are coming to life with Visual Arts, Music, Workshops and Indigenous Culture.
Historically, these halls were community hubs of activity. Anything from dances, sports, birthdays, wedding, Christmas gatherings and a huge array of other activities would always centre around these hubs. Today, many halls are less used than others but they still fill a vital role in regional communities. Most Halls have a booking system where you can hire them for your own events or celebrations.

The Festival of Halls is proudly supported by the City of Albany and the WA State Government
