For seven days and nights, Hobart’s waterfront is transformed into a display of colour and life as the Taste Festival ignites the historic Sullivans Cove Precinct: showcasing the uniqueness and diversity of Tasmania’s produce and gourmet food and wine to approximately 250,000 people.
Building upon the success of the 2009/2010 Festival, this year’s Festival theme, Sensational Taste, encourages festival goers to engage the senses by sampling the best of our sensational Tasmanian produce, complimented by a mix of interesting cultural food experiences. The Taste Festival aims to invite the celebration of our community and Tasmania’s rich heritage while contributing to increasingly sophisticated and forever surprising contemporary food culture.
The 2010/2011 Festival will seek to celebrate the people of Tasmania through culinary, artistic and cultural expression.
The Taste Festival is an initiative of the Hobart City Council, whose aim is to present a unique and memorable Festival that showcases some of the best food and beverage Tasmania has to offer, while providing opportunities for the whole community to meet with friends and family and celebrate the essence of Summer in Hobart, in a fun and safe environment.
The main Festival site will be open from 11am-11pm daily with the exception of New Year’s Eve (Friday 31 December) when the site closes at 3:30pm to set up for the ticketed New Year’s Eve Party.
