Nepali Events in Hobart and Tasmania: The Complete Guide

Tasmania's Nepali community punches well above its size — driven by UTAS students and settled families, Hobart now hosts a genuine annual festival and lands on the national touring circuit.

This season in Hobart

• Nepal Festival Tasmania 2026 — Parliament House Lawns, November 13 (see the full festival guide)
• A Nostalgic Night with The Edge Band — Odeon Theatre, November 18 (our earlier coverage)

How the community works

Tasmania's Nepali population concentrates in greater Hobart and the university areas, with Nepal Festival Tasmania — run under the NRNA Tasmania umbrella — serving as the community's annual flagship on the Parliament House lawns. The island's festival calendar s the national Nepali calendar: Dashain and Tihar community gatherings, Chhath by the water, Holi colour events and the midyear community programs.
