Calling all Geeks, Creators and Innovators!
Are you ready to be part of the ultimate celebration of all thing’s geek? GeekFest Top End 2026 is fast approaching; we’re on the lookout for organisations and businesses that want to share their passion. Whether you're an activity provider, performer or would like to share anything geeky, we want you to get involved!
Held as part of the Palmerston Youth Festival, the event celebrates all things geek culture from cosplay competitions, special guests, laser tag, medieval land, performances and E-sports competitions in Palmerston.
This year, we’re open to anything and strongly encourage new and creative ideas. If you’ve got something unique or exciting to bring to the table, we’d love to hear from you! There is no idea too big or too small. Join us as we create an unforgettable experience full of creativity and fun.
