Started on July 1 and running every evening during the month of July this free, family friendly event is expected to draw audiences from around Tasmania and interstate. The show is also an environmentally sensitive event and measures are in place to respect the local penguin habitat.
Bicheno Beams spokesman David Reed said accommodation was fast booking out.
"This is a not-to-be-missed experience on Tasmania's stunning East Coast and we expect it to be extremely popular," he said.
"Accommodation is limited and so I would recommend booking sooner rather than later."
Bicheno Beams is a world-class light show developed by Melbourne's Genius Laser Technology Company and set by scenic Waubs Bay.
East Coast Tourism CEO Rhonda Taylor said the event was a major draw card for the region during the traditionally quiet winter season.
"It certainly gives a boost in terms of tourism but what's also lovely to see is how it brings the community together," she said.
"Bicheno Beams is entirely volunteer-run and wouldn't be possible without the generosity of locals. It creates a sense of community spirit and pride in the East Coast."
Mr Reed agreed and thanked the volunteers for their tireless support.
"The nights may be chilly but the warm welcome from local volunteers who host the show each night will add to the experience."
