Tropfest back in 2026 with government backing
The world’s largest short film festival will return to Sydney after a seven-year hibernation, with Tropfest set to take place in Centennial Park in February 2026.
The NSW Government has entered into a commercial partnership with the film festival, which will also include a discount on venue hire, and the expansion of the Tropfest brand into a year-round series of events, culminating in the main festival.
NSW Premier Chris Minns called Tropfest “an Australian cultural institution”, in a ministerial media release issued on Monday morning.
