Did someone say FREE PARKING on 23 November 2024?

All parking within the Hobart CBD will be FREE on the Myer Hobart Christmas Pageant Day*, making it a super convenient time to get a head start on your Christmas shopping!

Why not stay on after the event and enjoy lunch or brunch with friends? Or shop until you drop?

This parking initiative supports the local economy by encouraging visitors and residents to stay in town for longer and support local businesses this festive season.
