Head down to Hobart's waterfront to find the last outpost before you hit "The Ice". Hobartica returns as an all-new precinct of polar revelry and Antarctic encounters.

Amble through a cosy Antarctic night market where you can pick up cold-climate supplies, eat and drink beside crackling fires and live music, and step inside the geodesic domes for installations and conversations with scientists and Antarcticans living and working at the bottom of the world.

Then settle into the Waterside Pavilion for great bands and dancing, Antarctic talks, the AAD's incredible live krill tank, and of course Antarctic cocktails.

Want to know more? Chill. Full Hobartica program out soon.

This event is part of Beaker Street Festival 2026
