Tasmania’s Salamanca Markets
Every Saturday - 8:30AM
Held every Saturday at Hobart’s waterfront, offering a diverse range of woodwork, fashion, Jewellery, ceramics, glassware and food and produce.
Rektango
Every Friday night between 5.30-7.30pm
An amazingly cool event that's held – free – every Friday night between 5.30-7.30pm in The Courtyard at Salamanca. It's a family-friendly event, so you can bring your kids, but it's also uber hipster and alternative too. Basically, Rektango is about getting your funk on to a local live band – but don't expect any trashy 80s pub cover bands here. It's all about the funk, soul, reggae and blues.
