Next date: Friday, 20 March 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Join us as we walk together from the Hobart waterfront to Parliament Lawns to take a united stand against racism.

Councils of Greater Hobart will walk alongside community to show solidarity, raise awareness, and commit to a future free from racial discrimination ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Starting point: Corner of Hunter Street and Franklin Wharf (next to MACq 01)

Finish point: Parliament Lawns

Please bring your own water bottle and be prepared for all weather conditions with a hat, sunscreen, and umbrella.

The WeSTAR Walk brings participants together to stand visibly and proudly against racism, before transitioning directly into the Together for Harmony: Young Voices Shaping Change event.

About We Stand Together Against Racism (WeSTAR)

The We Stand Together Against Racism (WeSTAR) campaign was created in response to rising reports of racist behaviour and growing fear among migrant communities in Tasmania.

To take a unified stand, the six councils of Greater Hobart — Brighton, Clarence, Glenorchy, Kingborough, Sorell and Hobart — came together to address racism collaboratively and promote a more inclusive, welcoming Tasmania.

The councils developed an awareness campaign that emphasises that racism has no place in our community and offers practical ways for individuals to take action. The campaign features local community representatives and highlights the strength, resilience and diversity of Tasmanian communities.
