Launceston Satellite Events
BeerFest is bringing you a new series of satellite events leading up to the festival to enjoy while in Launceston
Launceston has asserted its place among the world’s greatest!
In late 2021, it was named as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, making it one of only 36 world cities bestowed with the title. Launceston has become famous for its food, wine, beer and produce. See our discover launceston page for more.
All this will be showcased at Launceston BeerFest’s NYE Celebration. However, we cannot fit everything Launceston has to offer in just one night! So here is a list of activities and events happening around Launceston in the lead up to NYE.
