Alice Springs Beanie Festival

NT Government

“A dedicated and passionate community has grown up around this event, and it is a community that promotes such a sense of inclusivity and joy that this festival has become a must-see event on the Central Australian calendar.

“If you’re a visitor to the Red Centre, make sure you take the time, with your beanie in tow if it’s a bit nippy, to experience this wonderful festival and as much of this stunning region as possible.”

Quotes from Chief Beaniologist Jo Nixon:

“We have a bumper crop of beanies from all over the world and they are looking for heads to keep warm. So splash out and get yourself, and your friends, some of the world’s most creative head gear.

“We’re also on the lookout for volunteers, so if you have a spare few hours, please sign up. We would love to see you there.”
