Fabulous, free, Festival fun for everyone!
You don’t have to spend a dime to have a great time at Brisbane Festival. From very early morning yoga, soft sounds, movement and musical mantras; to afternoon parties in the park, circus, art exhibitions, classical music, multicultural dance classes and mini-festivals; to late night DJs and wild singalongs.
From sunrise to last call, Verso Projects. Festival Village, South Bank is open and free to enter – a riverside gathering place alive with music, performance, food, art and nightlife brought to life through the audio visual technical expertise of Norwest Productions. Even getting to and around the Festival is a bargain at only 50 cents!
