There’s no better time to enjoy Tasmania’s glorious dark skies than in winter, when the nights are long, the fires are warm, and the stars are sparkling. Dine by candlelight, discover Indigenous star stories, peer through telescopes, and gaze in awe at nature’s nightly glow show. And if you’re keen to see an aurora, you can sign up for alerts during the Festival period — If the auroral activity forecast is looking promising, you’ll be the first to know.
Beaker Street is now a DGR-endorsed charity, which means you can make a tax-deductible donation to support our work to build community through scientific understanding.
Have an idea or want to be part of the fun? There are loads of ways for you to get involved with Beaker Street.
Beaker Street acknowledges and pays respect to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional and original owners, and continuing custodians, of this land on which we come together to discover and share knowledge. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
