Hobart Twilight Market joins the ever-growing list of cancelled Tasmania events

Markets, fun runs and multicultural festivities have joined the gowing list of events to be cancelled due to the coronavirus crisis.

MORE Tasmanian events have joined the ever-growing list of those being cancelled or postponed.

With the future of Salamanca Market still in the air, the Hobart Twilight Market has suspended all future events effective immediately.

The market was set to take place on Friday alongside the launch of the inaugural Tasmanian Multicultural Festival, operations manager Justin Davies said.

“We understand that markets were not classified as static, however, with movie nights and tables for seating, it was felt that the market fell into this category of a static event,” he said.

The Hobart Twilight Market has suspended all future events effective immediately.

Many stallholders expressed discomfort around participating in the market due to having young families or elderly parents.

The market’s season finale for Long Beach and the Tasmanian Multicultural Festival will be rescheduled, and will most likely take place on April 18. Brooke Street Pier operations are expected to resume on April 25.
