Hobart is flushed with excitement in anticipation of that mischievous devil, Dark Mofo. To welcome curious visitors to Southern Tasmania, local landmarks, businesses and residences will Paint the Town Red. Red lights, lanterns and decorations will warm the day and night from Saturday 1 June for the duration of the festival (Thursday 6—Sunday 23 June 2019).
To encourage nocturnal adventuring, we are running a friendly little photo competition. And yes, there are some pretty sweet prizes up for grabs!
