Winter Feast

As darkness descends upon Hobart, the Winter Feast transforms an expansive waterfront space into a realm of fire, smoke, and mouthwatering aromas.

Illuminated by flickering flames, food stalls beckon with various indulgences, from sizzling barbecue meats to piping hot soups and decadent desserts. The feast is a celebration of tantalizing flavours and a communal gathering that fosters a sense of warmth and connection amidst the winter chill.

Visitors come together, embracing the spirit of Dark Mofo, savour their meals, sip on mulled wine, and create lasting memories in this ephemeral feast of the senses.
