How should we plan a Hobart New Year's Eve without relying on an old festival listing?

Have a quieter waterfront or restaurant alternative if tickets sell out. Plan the late-night trip back to accommodation before going out.

Reserve a dinner within a comfortable walk of the event precinct and confirm holiday trading. Leave a margin for queues and street closures.

Check the city's current event program and the organiser's ticket page for that year. Festival names, entry rules and fireworks arrangements can change.
