Brisbane Festival 2023

Brisbane Festival 2023 was a triumph in every measure

The 2023 Festival by all accounts was a tectonic shift for our Festival and it was made possible through a community of passionate supporters coming together to support big dreams and vision and offering a shining beacon to our city.

We showed Australia and the world what Brisbane and this state is capable of through the arts with ambitious, bold and artistically excellent commissions like Salamander and BANANALAND. Both works made here in Queensland with local artists and global connections.
