07 May 2026
Winter is coming and PEAK Festival is back for 2026 – bigger than ever. From Friday 5th until Monday 8th June, Perisher comes alive with music, snow, and family-friendly fun to kick off the season in style. With a talented line-up of 20+ acts – including Jindabyne's very own Kesha Neve, fresh off her Australian Idol win – this is one you don't want to miss!
The best part? Entry is FREE!
Live Music Across 7 Stages
From local favourites to emerging artists and high-energy DJs, the talent spreads across seven stages throughout Perisher Valley, serving up a live music experience like no other. Whether you're kicking back with a drink in hand or dancing until the mountain goes quiet, there's a stage – and a sound – for every mood.
Fun For the Whole Family
Got little ones in tow? You're in luck. PEAK Festival is as much for the kids as it is for the grown-ups, with a mountain full of activities designed to keep them smiling all weekend –including Dynamic duo Yabadoo who will be bringing the magic back to Perisher with games, balloon twisting, magic tricks, face painting, dress-ups and more.
Stay Close to the Action
We've got plenty of accommodation options across Perisher and Jindabyne, so you can stay close to the action all weekend long. Looking for a great value deal? Our 2-Day Stay & Play Package has everything you need for a fun weekend in the snow, including 2-nights' accommodation at The Station in Jindabyne and snow clothing hire – so you can stay, play, and gear up with ease.
Getting to Perisher
Driving and Parking
If you're planning to drive, you’ll find day parking at Perisher Valley, with additional parking available at Smiggin Holes. Keep in mind that this is a busy weekend, so it pays to arrive early for the best spots.
Important note: All 2WD vehicles must carry snow chains when entering Kosciuszko National Park during winter. Even if it’s not snowing, conditions can change quickly, and it's always better to be prepared.
Skitube
If you’re staying in Jindabyne or down the mountain, we recommend catching the Skitube – the simplest and most convenient way to travel to and from Perisher during the festival! Departing from Bullocks Flat (just 20 minutes from Jindabyne), it avoids the need to drive up the mountain altogether. No snow chains, no alpine roads – just a smooth ride straight to the heart of the action.
Parking at Bullocks Flat is free, and you won’t need a National Park entry pass if you’re using the Skitube.
Snowy Mountains Bus Service
Staying in Jindabyne or nearby? The Snowy Mountains Bus Service is another easy and affordable way to get to the festival without driving. With regular routes connecting Jindabyne, East Jindabyne and Tyrolean Village to the mountain, it’s a great option if you’d rather leave the car behind for the weekend.
Your Festival Navigation Map
Get the lay of the land before you arrive. The official PEAK Festival Navigation Map below is your go-to guide for the weekend, with all seven music stages, food and drink hubs, family activity zones, and plenty more mapped out and ready to explore.
