Festivale

Festivale is organised by a volunteer committee that is dedicated to delivering a uniquely Tasmanian experience on the second weekend in February every year.

The Launceston Festivale Committee Inc employs an event co-ordinator, sponsorship manager and event officer to assist in the year-round planning and management of the event. The Committee comprises 10 members. Each Committee member brings experience and expertise to the event in areas such as entertainment, food and wine, logistics and marketing.
