Held at multiple venues across Launceston, expect local artists, live music, interactive workshops, food stalls, cultural performances and family-friendly activities, all aimed at spreading joy and unity. This year’s theme is “Peace...it starts with me”.
Have a blooming good time in Wynyard
12 October
Dive into a sea of colour at the Wynyard Tulip Festival, set on the banks of the Inglis River at Gutteridge Gardens. The Table Cape Tulip Farm blooms with over 80,000 tulips at this annual floral festival with a packed schedule of live music, performance artists, food vans and kids’ entertainment. All topped off with a 9pm fireworks display. Enjoy delicious Tassie treats like scallop pies and berry desserts, dance to homegrown live music, get your face painted and take a hayride. The perfect start to spring.

West Coast Heritage & Minerals Fair
9 - 10 November
Colloquially known as the ‘Gem Fair’, this annual event, held in Zeehan, celebrates the cultural heritage and mineralogical resources of the region. The gem and mineral traders are hosted in the historic Gaiety Theatre. Plus food, live music and kids’ entertainment.
Longford Blooms
