This year’s summer calendar is stacked. Think the mouth-watering Taste of Summer on Hobart’s waterfront, and New Year’s Eve parties that will have you dancing under the stars. Sports fans can cheer courtside at the Hobart International 2026, foodies can tuck into a traditional Craybake at River Run Lodge, and those with a quirky streak can get amongst GoatFest Tasmania or wander the garlic-scented stalls at the Koonya Garlic Festival.

Our HOT LIST of summer events has you covered, from Greater Hobart to the Huon Valley, Derwent Valley, Tasman Peninsula, Bruny Island, and beyond. Mark your calendar,  summer in Southern Tasmania is about to get epic!
