The National Arboretum Canberra will host a new winter festival, Winter in the Woods, running from 26 June to 9 August, according to event information. The festival will feature firelight, food and forest adventure experiences, complementing the city's broader winter program and tapping into the seasonal appeal of the venue.

The initiative reflects a wider strategy to maximise Canberra's natural assets across all seasons. By developing new festivals and experiences that play to the Arboretum's landscape and the region's winter conditions, the city adds to its event calendar at a time when tourism and local visitation patterns are being actively shaped. Such offerings help sustain visitor numbers and local hospitality spending during months when weather might otherwise suppress activity.
