The Royal Hobart Regatta, Tasmania's oldest sporting event, began on December 1, 1838, to commemorate the 17th-century European discovery of Tasmania by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman.
Organized by Governor Sir John Franklin, the event features free food, beer, and a public holiday, a tradition of free entry that continues today.
Initially held in December, the boat races shifted to January or February beginning in 1879. King George V granted it the 'Royal' title in 1934, making it the Royal Hobart Regatta.
The event spans three days and ends on the second Monday in February. Included in the festivities are various aquatic competitions and displays. It's known for its significant public attendance and involvement of the Royal Australian Navy as a flagship.
The Regatta has witnessed royal visits, including one by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip in 1963. The event's governance is by the Royal Hobart Regatta Association.
