My Street
Team up with your neighbours this winter to host an outdoor My Street event in your suburb with support from the City of Hobart.
We'll help you create a free event that is local, intimate, and unique to your area. Each event will involve the residents of one or two streets coming together to catch up, meet new people, and celebrate local life in Hobart.
Artists, performers, food, and furniture will be organised by the City in collaboration with the residents. Numbers will be limited with invitations to locals-only to keep the events community-focused. We will also provide support with management and permissions that may be needed such as bookings for parks, permits, traffic management (including road closures if necessary), cleaning, and event staff.
Your My Street event can be as simple as finding a date and time that suits, inviting neighbours by a letter box drop and then everyone bringing a rug or chair, some food, and their smiling faces to enjoy winter together.
It could also look like blocking off your street to traffic so people can gather to enjoy various types of entertainment.
It could involve a talent show, games, lucky door prizes, or even an open-air cinema... we encourage you to get creative and draw upon the resources in your community.
