Want to run events in Canberra? Become an organiser
Browse Canberra events listed in the family and kids category, with dates, venues and a link to each event.
The calendar has at least 18 listings in the Family & kids category from Thursday 5 November 2026 onwards, Canberra time. Categories help you browse. They are not a check that an event suits a particular age, ability or interest, so read the event page before you go.
The first 5 by date:
“Not listed” means the listing does not state that detail; it does not mean free or all day. Times, prices, venues and tickets can change at the source, so open the event page, and its source link where there is one, before you travel. “Listing updated” is when our copy last changed, not a check that the details are still current.
