What’s On In Hobart This Week, Month And Beyond

Autumn days are shorter and we're all gearing up for Tassie's winter (hello, Dark Mofo), but Hobart doesn't slow down when the cold starts creeping in. The city's alive with music, art, festivities - and, always, good food.

Here's our pick for the best things to do in Hobart this week, month and beyond.

What's On In Hobart October 2026 and Beyond

Urban Cocktail Trail

Hobart | October 10

Bar crawl, but make it an urban adventure. The Urban Cocktail Trail takes you on a sip-by-sip journey through some of Hobart's best bars and restaurants. This self-guided tour de tipple kicks off at your chosen venue with a snack and a drink, before you wind your way through the city. This year's lineup features Callington Mill House of Whisky, Manky Sally's (the famous spicy Yuzu Marg awaits!), The Story Bar, Telegraph Hotel, Susie Luck's, Kingfisher and Kelp Bar. Every spot will show off its unique skill with a totally different drink. Because it's a choose-your-own-adventure, you can book your ticket for anywhere between three and six cocktails, with a $10 food voucher and booking fee. Head here to grab your tickets.

It's a big weekend of wine hopping! Vineyards in the Huon Valley and Channel, Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley, Tasman Peninsula and Southern Midlands are welcoming wine-loving visitors, including some vineyards that are only open to the public on very special occasions (like this one). Meet, drink and be merry, discovering the stories behind the vino over some good local food and (of course) incredible wine. Find out more, see the wineries and plan your perfect trail on the Spring in the Vines website.

Spiderbait 30th Anniversary of Ivy & The Big Apples

Odeon | Saturday 7 November

Spiderbait is back for an encore! With the success of their 30th Anniversary tour for the 1996 album, Ivy & The Big Apples, the band is touring for four more shows - one of them right here at the Odeon. You’ve got another chance to see the rock ‘n’ roll greats on stage, in the flesh. Tickets on sale now. Get in before this one sells out, too.

Dandy Warhols & TSO

Odeon | Tuesday 24 November

For one night only, The Dandy Warhols will reimagine their iconic songs with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in an unmissable collaboration. Experience alt-rock royalty like never before, with the full force of a live orchestra behind their 30-year catalogue of hits and obscure fan favourites. What a way to kick off the tour. Tickets here.

Lassù returns to Wrest Point

Hold your horses! Lassù is returning to Wrest Point Friday 15 January, before moseying on North to Launceston’s Country Club for Friday 5 February.

It's a cosmic cowboy cabaret of acrobatics, burlesque and dance, with a healthy flourish of circus arts. One for cowpokes and creatives alike, the Old West comes to Wrest in a shower of glitz, flame and athletic prowess. Adults only, so find a babysitter and make it a date night - might as well upgrade to a cabaret table with a bottle of bubbles, to get the absolute most out of your time together.

Back by popular demand, this expanded season will run for 22 shows across both cities. Don't sit on it: this show almost sold out on the first run, and there's a lot of hype this time! See tickets for Wrest Point and Country Club.
