We love our beanie makers. Anyone is welcome to make beanies for the Beanie Festival. There are 2 sections to enter, Beanie Central and the National Beanie Competition. Read on to find out what you need to do!!
To be a volunteer at the Alice Springs Beanie Festival is to be part of the team that produces the world’s finest beanie celebration and (arguably) Australia’s favourite craft festival.
The Alice Springs Beanie Festival is a community- based event that began in 1997 with a ‘beanie party’, organised by Adi Dunlop.
In the early years, the festival was run by a group of friends including Pamela Bladon, Merran Hughes and Jo Nixon on a volunteer basis. The core group has slowly grown into a committed band of beanie-ologists.
Entry into Beanie Central is by gold coin donation.
No need to book tickets.
The beanie festival is a non profit organisation.
