What is made in Tasmania? Good question, that. All over the state, markets offer a feast for the senses and a truly unique insight into the creative talents of the Tasmanian people. It’s a great way to meet locals, always proud to promote “made in Tasmania” brands.

Made in Tasmania, Fresh for You!
The compact nature of the island provides the perfect opportunity for local producers to peddle their wares. Not only can you buy fresh seasonal produce – the mixture of goods extends to flowers, chocolates, handbags, clothing…
Actually it’s impossible to list the whole variety of stuff here, just as the list of state-wide events in market shopping is a long one.

Happy Hobart Market Customers
With a crowd of happy patrons looking for things to buy (and there’s nothing like a holiday to loosen the purse strings), the Salamanca market in Hobart provides a weekly opportunity to purchase a special souvenir made in Tasmania. This is both a resourceful and industrious sales avenue and a fabulous attraction for tourists. The market is a day out in itself: plenty of entertainment, a great Hobart waterfront location and a good selection of really delicious food.

Original and “new” Tasmanians have gravitated to all corners of the Apple Isle for a sea-change and to escape ordinary 9 to 5 jobs. Encouraging the development of artistic passions, there’s an inspirational setting and a viable retail outlet. This allows every community to have their own special day to join forces and draw a crowd to the local hall or oval. Advertising usually runs to posters on roadside power poles!
But basically there will be a market somewhere nearby no matter the weekend or the weather.
