Scoresby Steamfest 2027
Every year over the Labour Day long weekend, the Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club, home of the National Steam Centre, opens its doors for Steamfest - a high-energy celebration of steam, power and industrial history in motion.
This is your best chance to see our largest collection of restored machines in full action, from the thunderous engines to the intricate working models.
It's a vibrant, hands-on experience that's fun for the whole family and a true spectacle for enthusiasts.
Friday 5th March 2027 - Monday 8th March 2027 @ National Steam Centre
A World of Working Machinery
Our grounds come alive during Steamfest, showcasing the full power of our incredible collection. See our massive Traction Engines, powerful Ploughing Engines, and classic Steam Rollers moving under their own steam. Head over to the back paddock to watch our restored Earth-moving Machinery-including our famous dragline-do what they were built to do!
Experience the Magic, Big and Small
Steamfest offers something for everyone, whether you're a heavy-machinery aficionado or simply looking for a fun day out. Hop aboard our Miniature Railway for a ride through the grounds, or let our tractor-drawn "people mover" give you a tour. Inside our main sheds, you can explore the Lyttelton II Steam Tug's engines, watch a steam hammer at work, and see our extensive collection of industrial diesels and vintage tractors.
