Event Overview

A unique and original Tasman experience celebrating the joy of garlic, the food it flavours, and the music and arts that it inspires. The Koonya Garlic Festival is the longest running Garlic Festival in Australia and the first in Tasmania, and is one of Tasmania’s most anticipated harvest festival celebrations. Important focuses for the festival include the promotion of sustainability and education.
The Koonya Garlic Festival is a not-for-profit organisation supporting amateur and commercial garlic growers throughout Tasmania. Our role is to attract growing numbers of passionate garlic lovers, foodies and gardeners from throughout Tasmania and beyond while keeping the quirky and family event feel. We aim to provide an opportunity for the local community to join together while we showcase the Peninsula as a place that is complemented by arts and culture, engaging with some of Tasmania and Australia’s most celebrated gardening and culinary experts.

Producer’s Comments

As we are in a regional area the festival has experienced difficulties with technology that is needed to make the festival run smoothly, such as, eftpos, square and electronic ticketing facilities. After partnering with PopUp WiFi we are no longer disadvantaged in this way. Our ‘little festival with a big heart’ ran effortlessly, without the problems we have experienced in the past. The whole event was a complete success and we look forward to partnering again with PopUp WiFi to ensure our future events are just as successful. Thank you PopUp WiFi for your support of our beautiful event, with much love, the Koonya Garlic Festival Events Team and all who attended!
