Brisbane Festival and Brisbane City Council Present
Closing Concert: All Together Now
Unite for a Festival Finale like no other.
Stand up, make noise and join the fun.
Join us for a grand gathering in Victoria Park as we bid farewell to another spectacular festival. The stage is set for the people of Brisbane to come together for a mass participation event, as we invite the whole city to sing, dance and kazoo to their heart’s content.
Bring friends and family to share in the joy of an afternoon of free music and dance from around the world that will have you immersed in the celebration of music, rhythm, dance, and sound.
Join in on a high energy celebration of Pasifika culture in Siva Mai Club, a Flamenco family fiesta with Flamenco House, be one of the thousands of kazoos playing in unison; and feel the full force of a mass group of community drummers banging out a glorious dance beat as Dancenorth takes the stage to close out Brisbane Festival 2023. You’ll be swept away by this wonderful celebration of some of the multicultural creatives who call Brisbane home.
