Missed out on tickets? Don’t fear, there is a huge range of free events all around Hobart throughout the festival. For music lovers, enjoy the sounds of Chloe Kim, party the night away with Dumb Function or find your inner zen with Morning Meditations. You can also listen to the moving Songs for Freedom on the Mona Lawns guided by Ngarluma and Yinjibarndi Elders, songwriters from the Pilbara town of Roebourn.
Strange materials, unique sounds and creative visuals can all be expected of the displays on for the festival. For maximum impact with minimal spend, check out one or all of the free art exhibits across the city. Head to Antieternity by Jessie French to see their work created with algae-based bioplastic, uncover a ‘blackened utopia’ at Last Messages, hear the recordings of prayer and worship from across the state at Prayer and bask in the light at Uneasy Architect.
With a jam-packed line up of big name acts, tickets are going fast so don’t waste any more time. Lock in your favourites before they’re all gone! Exclusive to Hobart, the remaining Bon Iver tickets won’t be around for much longer. For the full summer festival experience, make sure to grab a ticket to the iconic Hobart Mona Sessions held on the lawns. Saturday has already sold out but Friday and Sunday are still available.
In and amongst all the festival frivolities, make sure to stop and soak up the best of Hobart and surrounds this summer.
If you’ve got some spare time between shows and exhibits, make sure to head out and about to explore the south.
For easy access to all the fun, staying centrally in Hobart is a great option. For an indulgent experience, Macq01, The Henry Jones Art Hotel or The Tasman are all great choices. Alternatively, the Old Woolstore Apartment Hotelor Quest Savoy are great budget friendly options. For a comprehensive list of some of our favourite local hotels, check out our blog via the link below.
It’s not really a trip to Hobart without making it to the top of kunyani / Mt Wellington or wandering through Salamanca Markets on a Saturday. If you’re wanting to really make the most of your time in Southern Tasmania, exploring further through the region is a must. Wildlife lovers will be blown away by Bruny Island, while walkers and hikers on the hunt for trails will fall in love with the Tasman Peninsula. Nature lovers can soak up the best of our landscape in the Far South, the Central Highlands and foodies will be able to eat and drink their way through the Huon Valley and Coal River Valley.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
