Steamfest @ Sheffield

Dates: 07/03/2026-09/03/2026

This celebration of the steam age, vintage machinery, railways, the rural way of life in north-west Tasmania and the old way of doing things was first held in Sheffield, the town of murals and gateway to Cradle Mountain, in 1994. This is the 31st annual SteamFest, and our volunteers are working very hard to make it the best ever, including some big changes to the event layout and the welcome return of wood-chopping on the Monday. Long-time crowd favourites including the steam railway, the tractor pull and the Tasmanian Lighthorse will be operating right through the three day event.
