Each September volunteers come together to help deliver and celebrate Queensland’s premier arts festival, lighting up the city in a blaze of pink.


#Be Part of Brisbane Festival 2024

Brisbane Festival is looking for enthusiastic volunteers this September!

This year’s Festival runs from Fri 30 Aug to Sat 21 Sep. Get excited for the return of some of your favourite program highlights including Lightscape and The Art Boat, along with the inclusion of many exciting new shows like Private View, Straight From The Strait, GRIMM and Trent Dalton’s Love Stories. Of course it’s not Brisbane Festival without Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust opening the festival with a bang!

There is something for everyone across Brisbane. Find your fit and explore this year’s dynamic program HERE.
