A Fantastic Day Out with Dad + Father’s Day Gift Guide
Father’s Day falls on the opening weekend of Brisbane Festival, so we’ve teamed up with The University of Queensland to put together the ultimate guide to celebrating Dad.
On Sunday 7 September, pack a picnic blanket and head to UQ’s Great Court for a fun, free afternoon Dad will love. Settle in for a feast from the food trucks, tunes to get the toes tapping and drop-in workshops where adults and kids can get crafty together.
Then take Dad for a wander around UQ, where the museums will be hosting even more pop-up workshops throughout the afternoon.
Looking for a Father’s Day gift he’ll actually love? We’ve got you covered. From footy and music to circus, acrobatics, theatre and more, there’s a Brisbane Festival show to suit every kind of Dad.
