Prince’s Square is the heart of Junction, and the place to start your Junction journey.
Savour delicious Tasmanian food and local brews while exploring the Festival Hub, home to live music, art & performance, food vans, bars, cosy fires, and the Little Devil.
Australia is home to over 210 snake species, three of which live right here in Tasmania.
Be part of Thrive Group’s paper sculpture project by decorating your very own scale to add to the Junction Snake! Children and their adults are invited to join in the creation at Junction.
WONDERGROUND is a dedicated space for families and children, designed and brought to life by local visual artist and educator Laura Watts.
The space has grown over the year through Laura’s residency at West Launceston Primary, with generous support from the Tasmanian Community Fund, where she’s worked with students in grades 2 to 6 to develop the ideas behind it. Now she brings that same spirit into the festival hub, with an emphasis on nature, sensory play, and handmade keepsakes.
Rev your engines at the Vroom Vroom race track, build a hideout in Cubbyland, craft wound and woven keepsakes, mix up something magical at the apothecary, or whisper your worries to a Pocket Monster. Braver grown-ups can even let a pint-sized tattoo artist ink them up, temporarily, at Tatts by Kids. Badge-making, drawing, and make-one-take-one crafts round things out, because in Wonderground, every corner has something new to discover.
While our littlest festival-goers are busy making gallery-worthy artworks, accompanying adults are welcome to watch the magic unfold, roll up their sleeves and join in.
Stay tuned for a detailed WONDERGROUND schedule.
