About Time: South Australia's History Festival 1-31 May 2013


Welcome to About Time 2013 - our biggest history festival ever! History SA is proud to present this event again in 2013. Our thanks to all the event organisers, who between them are presenting 522 events exploring different aspects of the past in every region of the State.

Join the conversation: We'd love to hear from you if you've attended an event - you can join the discussion on social media on Facebook or Twitter, or you can post a review on the event page. And if you don't want to miss any of the latest information, you should probably sign up to our email newsletter (at the bottom of the page).

We are also delighted to bring you Open House Adelaide for the second year running as part of About Time. If you love architecture, you won't want to miss this one! 55 of Adelaide's buildings will be open to the public for free on 4-5 May.

We hope you have a great May delving into the past, and we look forward to seeing you out and about!
