UC Open Day Festival
Overview
Come along to the University of Canberra for a day of discovery, entertainment and community. Whether you're exploring study options, helping someone plan their future, or simply looking for a great day out, there's something for everyone at Open Day Fest.
Explore more than 40 faculty hubs, tour the campus, meet academics and current students, and get answers to your questions about courses, pathways, scholarships and student life. With more than 20 student support and services teams on hand, you'll have everything you need to start planning your next step.
Once you've explored, settle in and enjoy the festival atmosphere. Catch live music performances from The Rubens, Drax Project and Holly Heand be, cheer on SLAM! Pro Wrestling, watch world championship woodchoppers in action at the woodchopping exhibition, and enjoy food and drinks from some of Canberra's favourite vendors.
Bringing the family? The Kids Zone features a jumping castle, face painting, balloons, creative activities, a passenger train and plenty of opportunities to play and explore. Plus, don't forget to grab one of the 5,000 free blue donuts being given away throughout the day.
