The Royal Hobart Regatta is celebrated over three days, typically from February 7 to 9, in Tasmania, Australia. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious events in the region, originally established in 1838 to commemorate the discovery of Tasmania. The regatta attracts around 40,000 visitors who enjoy a variety of exciting competitions both in and out of the water, as well as aerial and aquatic exhibitions. The event takes place at the Queens Domain along the River Derwent, where attendees can witness the impressive sailing displays. A notable custom includes wearing a sprig of silver wattle blossom tied with a British Navy blue ribbon. The regatta is marked by the participation of the Royal Australian Navy, which sends a warship as a flagship, and the Royal Australian Air Force, which conducts fly-pasts and aerobatic performances. Additionally, the Australian Army's elite Red Beret parachute regiment showcases impressive skydiving displays.
