SHORE SIDE ACTIVITIES

The Sydney and Hobart Race Villages will be back in full swing in 2022, capturing the excitement of the race at both ends.

Sydney Race Village

The Sydney Race Village, located at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, will be open to the general public from early December.

It will host some of the popular build-up events to the race, including the VIP & Skippers Launch, Commodore’s Beer & Prawn Night and Crew Party while a Movie Night will be held on Wednesday 21 December, screening the documentary film Maiden

Visit the Musto store, which will sell official race merchandise – from bags and caps, to tees and jackets.

The big screen will be rolling with race footage in the build-up and a live broadcast of the race start on Boxing Day.

Entry to the village is free.

Hobart Race Village

The Hobart Race Village will be open from noon on Tuesday 27 December 2022 until 5pm on Sunday 1 January 2023.

Located waterside at Constitution Dock, the village is the perfect location to follow race updates, watch boats cross the line and join the celebrations, or just soak up the sun with a cold drink and some delicious food.

This year, we’re bringing you closer to the action in the Hobart Race Village, with live updates broadcast on the big screen at 9am and 4pm, a Q&A on stage with competitors at midday and race footage in real-time. Competitors can also enjoy Happy Hour from the Devil’s Corner Bar at 5-6pm.

There will be face painting for kids in the main marquee, as well as a DJ each afternoon and live bands in the evening.

Get up close to the Tattersall Cup in the Information Centre or visit the Musto store to scoop some merchandise. There is a great variety of food on offer, including:

• Asian fusion from Munchies Street Food

• Authentic Italian from Mamo Pasta

• Indonesian street food from Kaki Lima

• Loaded fries from Fried & Loaded

• Waffles and dessert from Little Island Waffles

With coffee served by Davey Street Garage and slushies or frozen cocktails from Daiquiri Isle, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Please note that there will be no public access to Kings Pier Marina between 6pm New Year’s Eve and 1am New Year’s Day.

Access will only be available to competitors and officials showing an official wristband, which can be collected from the volunteers in the Sydney Race Village, with a maximum of 10 wristbands per boat.
