All about the festival

The Junction Arts Festival aims to transform the streets and spaces of Launceston with a variety of interactive art experiences. Artists from all over the country and beyond will be showcasing their works with public installations and other special projects.


"Whether it's music, theatre, live performance, dance, visual art or more, the Junction Arts Festival presents a brand new way of enjoying artistic and creative experiences.


The festival is still in its early stages. The very first outing took place in 2010 as a one-off event, but the resulting success meant that Events Tasmania and the Launceston City Council were galvanised into developing the event as an annual multi-arts festival.

A total of 54,000 people participated in the festival the next year, and on January 1, 2012, the independent and non-profit group Junction Arts Festival Inc was created to ensure the event could continue to run.

What's on this year

This is an arts festival with a twist, as audiences are encouraged to be a part of the experience. Many of the performances are free and people of all ages can take part, so this is a great event to take in whether you're there with the family or just with your partner or a few friends.

Whether it's music, theatre, live performance, dance, visual art or more, the Junction Arts Festival presents a brand new way of enjoying artistic and creative experiences.
