Imagine a place where scientists grace centre stage, microscopes live on bar tables, and late-night conversations have the potential to change the world. Welcome to Beaker Street Festival, where science brings us together.
Each August, thousands of visitors from across the country and beyond descend on Tasmania to dive into big ideas, deep discussions, and wild adventures—all set against the raw beauty of Tasmania's winter landscape.
For nearly a decade, our program has featured some of science's biggest names – from Nobel Laureate Brian Schmidt and Australian astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg, to TikTok star AstroKirsten and legendary environmentalist Prof Tim Flannery, alongside legends of science communication like Dr Karl, Tegan Taylor, Robyn Williams, Adam Spencer, Wendy Zukerman, and many more.
The 2026 program will be announced in May.
