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.
Event date: April - May 2026

Creative local residents, schools, businesses and community groups create sculptures in one of three categories: Hay Bale Art, Farm Art and Scarecrows.
It is a great opportunity to enjoy the country landscape, visit some of the small villages and see some creative displays.
