Tickets are now live for Tasmania's iconic winter event, Festival of Voices, which is set to return this July with an exciting statewide program. Festival of Voices will welcome interstate travellers and encourage locals to get out of their homes during winter to enjoy the transformative power of singing. Previously, the festival has predominantly been Southern-based but this is all set to change this year, with Launceston hosting four different events at iconic venues across the city. For a full list of events in Launceston visit the Festival of voices website.
BICHENO BEAMS
July 1 to 31
A family-friendly celebration of light, Bicheno Beams returns this winter. Two different light shows will be presented on alternate nights, so stay longer and enjoy two entirely unique and awe-inspiring laser light shows with adjoining soundtrack. The soundtrack to the show is live streamed to your device to avoid disturbing our local penguin population. For more information visit bichenobeams.com
TWO OF US

HUON VALLEY FESTIVAL
July 15, 16 and 17
The Huon Valley Mid-Winter Festival is all about celebrating the region's apple-picking history and at its core is the wassail: the ages-old tradition of scaring evil spirits from the orchard to bring on a bumper crop. This year, it is returning to its roots with the festival to be held on an intimate scale at Willie Smith's Apple Shed. All the festival's much-loved traditions make a comeback including the Big Willie Burning Man, Tassie's best folk-funk bands, the coveted costume competition, and tales tall and true from Tassie's best storytellers. For tickets visit the Willie Smith's website.
