Sunday Markets, Gypsy Jazz, and Iconic Rock: What’s On in Hobart Today

A Vibrant Sunday Awaits in Hobart

Welcome to Sunday, 29 March 2026. Today, Hobart offers a rich tapestry of local flavors, live music, and thought-provoking art. Whether you are looking to stock up on seasonal Tasmanian produce, catch a world-class musician, or explore the city's artistic heritage, there is something happening in every corner of the capital today.

Fresh Flavors at the Sunday Markets

The city's morning starts with the ringing of the brass bell at the Farm Gate Market on Bathurst Street. Open from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm, this market is a celebration of the island’s 'meet the producer' philosophy. Expect to find late-summer stone fruits, artisanal sourdough, and the famous 'Grub Hub' street food section, where local vendors serve up everything from sourdough donuts to fresh breakfast burgers.

Across the river, the Tasmanian Produce Market at Rosny Parklands is also in full swing from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. This riverside market provides a more relaxed atmosphere for those looking to browse local crafts, honey, and cool-climate wines while enjoying live acoustic sets from local buskers.

Afternoon Jazz and Evening Anthems

Music lovers are spoiled for choice today. For a sophisticated afternoon, head to the South Hobart Arts Centre for the Cameron Jones Trio. They will be performing a set of lively gypsy swing and jazz, blending storytelling with driving rhythms on Selmer-style guitars. It is the perfect soundtrack for a crisp March afternoon.

As the sun sets, the focus shifts to the city's premier venues. At the Odeon Theatre, legendary singer-songwriter Lloyd Cole takes the stage, performing hits from across his storied career. Meanwhile, for those looking for something a bit more alternative, Pinky Beecroft will be performing at Altar, bringing his signature rock energy to the intimate venue.

Exhibitions and Guided Discoveries

If you prefer a quieter pace, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) is hosting several significant exhibitions today. 'Restoring the Past' offers a fascinating look at the science of art conservation, while 'Hobart Current: Here' showcases contemporary works from ten diverse artists. For history enthusiasts, the Maritime Museum of Tasmania is currently presenting Sue Pedley’s 'Prevailing Gales,' an evocative exploration of our maritime identity.

Finally, for a deeper connection with the land, join the Walk with the Mountain guided tour. Starting from Wellesley Park, this cultural walk follows the Octopus Track, where guides share insights into how the Palawa people have lived and survived on Kunanyi for millennia.
