This program embodies the essence of summer in Maitland, inviting both locals and visitors to engage with the city’s cultural experiences, attractions and festive events.

‘Maitland is the place to be this summer, offering an incredible range of events that unite people,’ says Maitland Mayor Philip Penfold.
