For one exhilarating week in August, Beaker Street Festival will once again take over Hobart and beyond, transforming Tasmania into a meeting place for bold thinkers and adventurous spirits. .
From 12–19 August 2025, expect a festival like no other—where science collides with art, music, and adventure, where conversations flow over cocktails, and where unexpected encounters spark new ways of seeing the world.
Known for its genre-defying approach and boundary-pushing ideas, Beaker Street Festival has cemented its place as Australia’s most dynamic festival of science and culture. Each year, thousands of visitors from across the country and beyond descend on Tasmania to dive into big ideas, deep discussions, and mind-expanding experiences—all set against the raw beauty of Tasmania’s winter landscape.
Whether it’s the thrill of discovery, an immersive journey into the unknown, or an awe-inspiring moment under some of the world’s darkest skies, Beaker Street Festival proves that science isn’t just something you learn—it’s something you live.
“Beaker Street Festival is all about making connections with interesting people, taking part in immersive experiences, and gaining new perspectives,” says Festival Founder and Creative Director Dr Margo Adler. “If you have an idea in your mind of what a science festival is, it’s not that.”
An iconic celebration of science, Beaker Street Festival continues to grow, drawing in adventurous minds, creative thinkers, and those who crave something truly different.
