Farm Gate Flavors and Contemporary Art: What's On in Hobart Today

Sunday Morning at the Markets

Start your Sunday, 5 April 2026, with the vibrant atmosphere of Hobart’s local markets. The Farm Gate Market on Bathurst Street is in full swing from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. Known locally as 'Farmy,' this market is the place to meet the producers and sample the best of Tasmania’s seasonal harvest. Whether you are looking for artisan sourdough, cool-climate fruits, or a hot breakfast from the 'Grub Hub,' the ringing of the brass bell at 8:30 am marks the beginning of a true local experience.

If you prefer a riverside setting, the Tasmanian Produce Market at Rosny Parklands is also operating today from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. This market offers a diverse range of fresh vegetables, herbs, and specialty items directly from the growers, perfect for a relaxed morning walk by the water.

Contemporary Art and Public Exhibitions

For those seeking a cultural fix, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) is hosting the major biennial exhibition Hobart Current: Here. This partnership between the City of Hobart and TMAG showcases new works by ten contemporary artists who respond to the theme of 'place' and 'presence.' Beyond the gallery walls at Dunn Place, you can find public art installations associated with the program at Franklin Square and Mawson Place, turning the CBD into a living gallery.

Family Fun and Community Gatherings

Today marks the final day of the Hobart Easter Funfair at the Brighton Showground. Families can enjoy a day of rides, carnival games, and traditional show bags. Sessions are scheduled from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and again from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, providing a festive end to the Easter weekend.

Closer to the city center, the Community Bake Days at Legacy Park offer a unique communal experience. The wood-fired ovens at the Queens Domain are fired up for locals to bring their own dough and join in a collective baking session. It is a fantastic way to meet neighbors and enjoy the open space of the Domain while your bread or pizza bakes to perfection.

Evening Entertainment

Wrap up the weekend with the high-energy performance of La Ronde. This five-star hit is lighting up the stage tonight, bringing world-class entertainment to Hobart. Check local venue listings for final ticket availability for this Sunday evening show.
