Experience the Ultimate New Year's Eve Celebration at Royal Park

Set against the stunning waterfront backdrop, Launceston BeerFest NYE offers a dynamic celebration, blending the best of local culture, talent, food, and beverage with Tasmanian pride and festivity — for a day (and night) packed with flavour and fun. And this year, we're turning up the heat with The Presets headlining the main stage, delivering an unforgettable NYE soundtrack.

With a massive line-up of local legends and big-name talent, it's the perfect mix of festival energy and laid-back good times.

Enjoy beers, cider, cocktails, seltzer, wine, gourmet street food, masterclasses, cocktail making, live music, live comedy, prizes, fireworks at 9.30pm + 12am, fire twirlers, puppet shows, VIP Area, beer olympics, face painting, Taiko drumming, games, competitions.

Whether you're here to sample your way through hundreds of bevvies, learn a thing or two in a food and drink masterclass, or simply kick back with your mates under the sun — this is your day to sip, snack, dance, and play.

And stick around for the best fireworks in Tasmania (9:30 and Midnight).

Bring your crew, your appetite, and your curiosity — there's something here for everyone.

It's bold. It's tasty. It's BeerFest. Let the good times pour!
