Salamanca Market

Salamanca Market is a large outdoor market held every Saturday at Salamanca Place on Hobart's waterfront in Tasmania. Established in 1972 with 12 stalls, it now hosts over 300 stalls along historic Georgian sandstone warehouses built in the 1830s. Known for Tasmanian produce, handmade crafts, art and street food, it is one of Australia's most visited markets and a central attraction in the City of Hobart local government area.

Visitors can expect a long row of outdoor stalls stretching along Salamanca Place between the historic sandstone warehouses and Hobart's waterfront. The market offers Tasmanian fresh produce, artisan crafts, jewellery, artworks, clothing and hot street food. The setting is paved and open-air with buskers and live music, views of Constitution Dock and the Derwent River, and direct access to galleries, cafes and pubs in the Salamanca precinct.

Salamanca Place warehouses were built between the 1830s and 1850s from sandstone, originally serving Hobart's whaling port and warehousing. Salamanca Market was established on 6 January 1972 with 12 stallholders as a community market and has grown to over 300 stalls, becoming one of Australia's longest-running and largest outdoor markets.

The market is a major showcase of Tasmanian culture, creativity and produce, supporting local artisans, designers, growers and food producers. It serves as a weekly community gathering place and a key cultural attraction reflecting Hobart's maritime heritage and contemporary craft traditions.
