Festivale is one of Tasmania’s premier events. It is a three day celebration, designed to showcase the very best of Tasmania’s food, wine and beer, arts and entertainment. Staged in Launceston’s historic and picturesque City Park the ambiance of the outdoor event is unique.
Festivale is an annual event, attracting around 40 thousand patrons, and is held on the second weekend of February. Originally established in 1988 as a multi-cultural street party, it has transformed itself into an iconic Tasmanian event, drawing people together to celebrate what Tasmania has to offer the world.
Festivale’s ability to present the best Tasmanian produce and entertainment in a historically and culturally significant outdoor location on the fringe of the city rates it as one of the best and food wine festivals in Australia. Under historic elm trees, family and friends can relax in the wide open space of Launceston’s City Park.
Tasmania is renowned for its world-class cool climate wines, beers and produce. Festivale provides an opportunity to ‘taste’ and experience the best of what Tasmania has to offer.
