Hobart’s Winter Feast is a treat.
70 food and drink stalls.
Seating inside a huge wharf shed with eight and a half thousand candles on the tables.
Additional seating outside on wooden benches and stools.
Bonfires and flames creating light and warmth.
Live music inside and out.
A show case of local Tasmanian produce, small plates, delicious aromas.
A great atmosphere, talking to friends and strangers as we queue for food, share tables.
An expected fifty thousand people to attend over the four evenings.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Feast last year, and it was great to experience it again last night. Bigger and better with different décor and themes.
Mid winter in Hobart is a treat.

It was a fun night out, but we sat to close to the wood fires. I hadn’t expected my clothes to smell so badly of smoke when we got home. Never mind.

Incredible and I love your photos of the many feasters and views! Is it put on by a Christian event or organization? And is it for a another purpose other than enjoying the food and meeting with others?

Hi Cynthia. It is part of an annual music and arts festival which I will post about today. Definitely not a christian organisation, some of the art is very “dark”. The feast is just to enjoy the food and meet others.

It’s certainly worth a visit and now you’re in Melbourne, it’s not too far away.

I remember going to this event and loved it, but had to wrap up and the crowds were a bit overwhelming.

I went mid week and early, so the crowds weren’t too bad. Had some great grub and drinks around the many fire pits. A top night out and I wish it ran for longer!

We could have gone back a second night as so many food stalls to choose from.
