Street Performance Program

Make Yourself Heard

The TasPorts Street Performance Program transforms Franklin Wharf into a lively hub of music and creativity, giving local performers a free, welcoming, and safe space to share their talents with the community.

By activating quieter spaces, we’re making Hobart’s waterfront even more vibrant, inviting, and fun for everyone to enjoy.
