Thirlmere Festival of Steam

Since 1989, the annual Festival of Steam at Thirlmere has grown to become Australia’s premier steam event.

It’s a community celebration of steam and nostalgia where locomotives of all kinds travel from afar, awakening the quaint village of Thirlmere with the enchanting echo of a steam whistle. Throughout the village, there’s all the fun of a country fair to be had with great markets & music, rides & relics.

The Festival of Steam is a unique and enjoyable event for the whole family!
