The shuttle operates on a continuous loop every day of the event (28 December – 3 January) between 10.30 am and 11 pm. Park in one of the three City of Hobart multi-storey car parks and hop on the FREE shuttle. Car park opening times vary and fees apply. You can check the route by visiting www.thetasteoftasmania.com.au/about-the-taste-of-tasmania Please note that this service REPLACES the usual park-and-ride service from the Regatta Grounds, which couldn’t go ahead this year because the circus has come to town. Also, road closures are in place today until 5 January on Castray Esplanade, Morrison Street and the Murray St—Morrison Street intersections. Happy Boxing Day from the Taste team. #thetaste #discovertasmania #tassiestyle #thisistassie

Sunny summer days are a feature of the Taste but while you’re enjoying our gorgeous waterfront remember to stay hydrated and sun-safe. We’ve located FOUR free water refill stations around the site, so bring along your water bottle and don’t worry if you forget because stalls will be selling bottled water. You can also protect your skin with free sunscreen from the Cancer Council Tasmania tent on Morrison Street near the main gates. #thetasteoftasmania #tasteoftasmania #thetaste #discovertasmania #tassiestyle
