What’s On in Hobart This Weekend, Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026: 6 Events, 4 of Them Free (Hobart, TAS)

Six events with an official date are on in Hobart from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026, and four of them are free: a garden party for St David’s Park’s 100th birthday, the Rose and Iris Show, a Bollywood fitness class and the Community Bake Days. The Hobart Hurricanes’ Pride Round against the Brisbane Heat has tickets at $15 with children free, and the Point to Pinnacle is a road race that charges an entry fee.

This guide gives the day, time, place and cost of each one, taken from the organisers’ own pages read on Sunday 8 November 2026. Where an organiser has not said anything about parking or transport, the guide says so rather than guessing.
