1.      Salamanca Markets (Year Round)

A must for any Hobart visitor, this vibrant Saturday market flogs everything from fresh local produce to quality foodstuffs and rustic artisanal handicrafts. Skilled street performers and a scenic waterfront setting in the historic Salamanca Place add to the appeal.

2.      Dark Mofo (June)

The mother of all mid-winter festivals, Dark Mofo celebrates the solstice’s lack of sunlight with public art installations, passionate performers, and intense nocturnal revelry. Pop-up evening events take place at atmospheric neon-or-fire-lit venues throughout the city.

*Dark Mofo is taking a break in 2024.

3.      Dark Fringe (June)

Coinciding with Dark Mofo, this moody festival brings avant-garde artistic expression from the fringe into Hobart’s CBD. Art installations, off-the-wall performances, and live music shows comprise the freaky 17-day event.

4.      MONA FOMO (January)

Australia’s top contemporary art museum hosts this hip summertime get-together. While most festivities occur at the MONA site, a string of mini shindigs sprout throughout the city. In addition to its galleries, expect provocative, boundary-pushing performances spanning music, theatre, and dance.

5.      Taste of Summer (December-January)

As the spiritual successor to Taste of Tasmania, this food-focused shindig brings community spirit and delicious flavours back to Hobart. The Taste of Summer sees 75+ Tasmanian food and drink stalls serve quality bites and tipples at Princes Wharf No.1—it’s a must for every epicurean.

6.      Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race (January)

Australia’s most celebrated yacht race sees skilled skippers sail into Constitution Dock after a gruelling 628-nautical-mile trip from Sydney. You don’t have to be an ardent seafarer to appreciate the spectacle at the finish line.

7.      Royal Hobart Regatta (February)

Dating back to 1838, this regal event is the state’s oldest and most prestigious sporting festival—it even warrants a public holiday. Sailing races, dragon boat rowing, and jet skiing exhibitions occur in the River Derwent before a raucous crowd. Wood-chopping competitions run by the riverfront, along with a string of other carnival-like festivities.

8.      Gin-uary Hobart (January)

Connoisseurs of delicious clear spirits will love this small-scale event. Taking place in Battery Point, this boutique boozy knees-up sees the state’s best gin-producers converge. Thirsty attendees can sip a smorgasbord of delicious citrusy flavours after lining their bellies from the on-site food stalls.

THE BEST REGIONAL FESTIVALS IN TASMANIA

Are you planning to attend a few regional shindigs?

While Hobart hosts some of the best festivals in Tasmania, you’ll find plenty of great events around the state. Here are some of our top picks.

1.      Huon Valley Mid-Winter Festival (July)

Set deep in apple country, this popular festival celebrates Huon’s fruit-based heritage with crate loads of cider and cockle-warming bonfires. Cruisy live tunes plus interactive arts and crafts exhibitions accompany the revelry.

2.      Spring in the Vines (November)

Oenophiles might want to time their Tassie adventure for Spring in the Vines, a joyous vino-centric festival in the southern edges of the state. Vineyards in the Huon Valley, Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley, Tasman Peninsula, and Southern Midlands open their Cellar Doors for new vintage tastings.

3.      Cygnet Folk Festival (February)

The hippy hamlet of Cygnet seems a logical place to host one of Australia’s most prestigious folk festivals. Since 1982, this lively three-day event has enthralled punters with performing artists from Tasmania, mainland Australia, and abroad.

4.      Bream Creek Show (March)

A small country show with a big heart, this endearing agricultural show is a hit among locals and travelling families. Adults will love the arena games, while the kids will adore child-friendly activities like face painting, crazy bikes, and pony rides.

Taking place in Queenstown, this avant-garde affair showcases Western Tasmania’s unappreciated contemporary art scene.

6.      Festivale (February)

Foodies should make a beeline towards Launceston for Festivale, a three-day celebration of locally produced food and beverages. Some 30,000 hungry punters flock to the satiating event each year. And with such proximity to the Tamar Valley, you can guarantee the quality will be good.

7.      Bicheno Food & Wine Festival (November)

Lonnie isn’t the only city to throw a food-and-booze knees up in Tasmania. From the stunning seaside town of Bicheno, this indulgent event brings you the finest feeds on the East Coast. A festive atmosphere comes courtesy of funky live tunes and plenty of wine-fuelled frivolity.

8.      Bloomin’ Tulip Festival (October)
