The Brisbane Festival is back in 2021 to celebrate the personality of the city, culminating in the famous Brisbane River Fire event on the last day of the festival. 

Exploding from the winter months, Brisbane Festival brings people together after awakening from their winter slumber for the most anticipated event of the year. 

Setting the pace for International Arts Festivals, this event is unlike any other with an extrodinary array of multi-arts programs, performances and experiences. 

You can expect performances from Kate Miller-Heidke on her 'Child in Reverse' tour, the world premier of the stage adaption of 'Boy Swallows Universe' by Brisbane author Trent Dalton, an LGBTIQ+ elders dance club event & more. From theatre productions and giant outdoor installations to street concerts and suburban symphonies to comedy shows and more, the festival honors all walks of life with a display, show, exhibition, experience or performance to impress even the toughest of audiences.
