The Hobart waterfront is coming back to life. Former warehouses and factories are now art and craft outlets, galleries and restaurants. Brooke Street Pier, Constitution, Waterman's and Victoria Docks, once home to trading ketches, whaling boats, tuna fleets and liners now give mooring to pleasure craft, ocean-going yachts, ferries and fishing boats while Princes Wharf, New Wharf and Elizabeth Street Pier accommodate apartments and cafes. Mawson Place, Salamanca Arts Centre and the Centre for the Arts on Hunter Street emphasise the importance of the arts in this redevelopment.

Associated Events
Salamanca MarketOngoing
Salamanca is a great place to buy that unusual gift or souvenir or just enjoy browsing through more than 300 stalls. Buy jewellery and local crafts, fruit, vegetables and home baking, clothing and millinery, flowers and second-hand goods. And if the stalls are not enough to entice, the market takes place along the historic waterfront with beautifully restored sandstone warehouses now converted into boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, cafes and bars across the road from a pleasant park. Note that credit cards are not accepted by all stall holders.
Burning Daylight
Nov 26th, 2009 to Nov 28th, 2009
9:00PM
This mixed-media production will take place at Princes Wharf Shed No. 1, Salamanca. Visit the website for complete information.
Taste Festival
Dec 28th, 2009 to Jan 3rd, 2010
A pivotal event of the Hobart Summer Festival, Tasmanian produce is the secret to Taste's popularity. Try the Atlantic salmon, game meats, mushrooms of many varieties or summer berries. Wines, ciders and apple-based spirits are showcased. For five days, the Hobart Waterfront is host to many stalls and many hungry people. One visit will not do justice to the variety of food and wine. Entertainment, including busker, ensures that no two visits are quite the same. For further queries, please check the website.
