Who Are We?
​
Holiday Happenings was launched in Canberra during 1997, with the helping hand of local government and the Minister for Education and Family Services.
Our priority was to assist in helping as many kids as possible stay engaged and active in fun and healthy activities during their time away from school.
Our combined goal was to provide families of school aged children with a free, comprehensive and easy to read information directory on the many activities available for children during school holiday periods.
​
24 years on Holiday Happenings is truly a one stop shop for school holiday activities in Canberra, with over 100 businesses advertising their programs, events and activities to ACT families and readers.
