Brisbane Festival

Brisbane Festival is a major International Arts Festival that explodes onto the Scene every September with a thrilling programme of Music, Theatre, Dance, Opera, Circus and Major Public Events such as Riverfire.

Brisbane Festival attracts an audience of around one million people every year, the festival has only been annual since 2009, but in that time it’s been embraced by the city and admired by the world.

Brisbane Festival aims to connect artists and audiences in ways that lift the spirit, disrupt the conventional and open Brisbane to the world.

A festival needs to be festive. Like a feast, it needs to lift our spirits, our responsiveness and our appetites beyond the everyday.

A festival disrupts the conventional. It inspires us to think differently – about an art form, about city spaces, about how we live in the world. Our collaborations work to make a difference.

A festival looks outwards to the world. It brings the world and its arts to us, and it showcases our city and its arts to the world.
