Alice Springs Beanie Festival, 2016

Beanie flashback…

Author Koh Lin

The Alice Springs Beanie Festival is an iconic and eclectic creative arts festival, and now in it’s 29th year. Whilst we have been attending since 2006, it was not until 2021 that we became actively involved with this amazing festival event, bringing together people from all backgrounds and ages.

Following are some beanies with a couple of tea cosies thrown in, from over the years that made us smile…
