Dark Mofo will return with a bang in June 2025, with a new funding agreement set to bolster future winter festivals.
Minister for Sports and Events, Nick Duigan, said the Tasmanian Government helped secure the future of the festival.
“We are investing $21.6 million to support the deliver of Dark Mofo through to 2027,” Minister Duigan said.
“An iconic Tasmanian event, Dark Mofo is recognised as a world-class winter festival.
“The festival drives significant interstate and international visitation to Tasmania during our off-season, and from 2013 to 2023 attracted more than 300,000 unique visitors to Tasmania.
“It also delivers a strong return on investment to the State, significantly boosting the tourism and the hospitality sectors in the quieter winter months.
“Supporting future Dark Mofo events was a 2024 Election Commitment as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future and forms part of the Tasmanian Government’s third 100 Day Plan.”
The 2025 iteration of the festival will feature all the usual festival favourites, such as the Winter Feast, the Ogoh-Ogoh, Night Mass and the Nude Solstice Swim.
“We can’t wait to see what the rest of the program has in store for us,” Minister Duigan said.
Dark Mofo 2025 will take place from Thursday, 5 to Sunday, 15 June 2025 with the Nude Solstice Swim on Saturday, 21 June.
