Your Guide to Beaker Street Festival

Welcome to Beaker Street Festival — a week-long adventure for the incurably curious in Australia’s wildest state, 12-19 August 2025.

Set against a moody Tasmanian winter, step into a playground for nerds, artists, astronauts, deep thinkers, pleasure seekers, and anyone who’s ever stayed up late wondering “why?”.

Plunge into Antarctic ice pools. Wander through fluorescing forests. Share a drink with a scientist. Discover death, desire, and distant galaxies.

Whether you’re chasing auroras or just looking to connect in the real world, you’ll find it at Beaker Street Festival.
