Dark Mofo will spread its iconic winter lights right across Tasmania, as the quirky, ambitious and highly anticipated event returns.
Minister for Sports and Events, Nick Duigan, said today's program launch has something for everyone in every corner of the state.
"We know Dark MOFO is an iconic Tasmanian event and recognised as a world-class winter festival," Minister Duigan said.
"The 2025 iteration of the festival will feature all the usual festival favourites, such as the Winter Feast, Night Mass and the Nude Solstice Swim.
"I am particularly excited for the events in Launceston's Princess Theatre and Ulverstone's Planetarium as the festival spreads its wings across Tasmania.
"From arts, performances, music, food and rituals, there is something in this event for everyone."
Minister Duigan said the festival drives significant interstate and international visitation to Tasmania during our off-season.
"From 2013 to 2023, Dark Mofo attracted more than 300,000 unique visitors to Tasmania," Minister Duigan said.
"It also delivers a strong return on investment to the State, of approximately 5:1, significantly boosting the tourism and the hospitality sectors in the quieter winter months.
"That's why the Tasmanian Government has secured this iconic event until 2027 as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future.
"This is just one part of our Government's commitment to Tasmania's events sector to support their ongoing success."
Dark MOFO 2025 will take place from June 5 to 15, with the Nude Solstice Swim on 21 June.
