Wynyard Tulip Festival

Date: 11/10/2026

In conjunction with Table Cape Tulip Farm opening its gates to a world of colour, the Wynyard Tulip Festival 2025 celebrates this iconic landmark, which attracts over 20,000 visitors every spring. The festival features live entertainment, Tasmanian produce, a fireworks display, thrilling rides, and family-friendly activities.

The inaugural Tulip Festival took place in 1991, born from the community’s pride in the vibrant tulips that blossomed each spring at Table Cape Tulip Farm. Over the years, we have celebrated 33 successful festivals, with only 2020 missed due to COVID.

What began as a small local celebration of spring and the region’s tulips has since transformed into a nationally recognised festival, attracting visitors from across Australia as well as countries such as India and China. Last year, the festival welcomed an estimated 20,000 guests.

This year, festival-goers can look forward to special appearances from nationally recognised guests, including MasterChef Australia 2024 runner-up Josh “Pezza” Perry and ABC Gardening Australia host Hannah Moloney, returning for her second year!
