Royal Hobart Regatta (Tasmania)

Royal Hobart Regatta (Tasmania) February 12

The Royal Hobart Regatta is a three-day event that runs over the weekend of the second Monday each February. The Monday is a public holiday for a large part of southern and eastern Tasmania.

The long weekend is packed with water events on the Derwent River and anyone can participate in the regatta either as a competitor or as a spectator.

On the water are sailing, powerboat, jet ski, kayak and canoe events, plus a bi-annual sail past of wooden boats.
In the water is the Trans Derwent Swim, a 1.8 km swim from Montagu to the Regatta Grounds.
Beside the water is a stage and grandstand for continuous entertainment and a concert; plus the regatta includes log chops, sideshows, the Greasy Pole, a tug-of-war and lots more.
Above the water are RAAF displays, parachute jumps, fly-pasts by the Navy and Air Force and, at the end of Monday, a fireworks display.
