March 8-10

StemFest is back ready to transform Sheffield into a steamy mural city for the 30th annual event
Three fabulous days of fun for all the family at the Sheffield.
Running from 11am to 4pm over the March long weekend, the event will celebrate the steam age, vintage machinery, railways, the rural way of life in North-West Tasmania and the old way of doing things.
The event was first held at Sheffield in 1994 and volunteers are working very hard to make this year's event the best ever, including some big changes to the event layout and the welcome return of wood-chopping on the Monday.
Long-time crowd favourites, including the steam railway, the tractor pull and the Tasmanian Lighthorse, will be operating right through the three-day event.

There will be 20 steam traction engines operating all long weekend: threshing, chaff cutting, straw pressing, stone crushing, slow racing, children's tug of war and a grand parade of everything that moves.
