Brisbane Festival has launched Festive Weekends – four weekends of wonder lovingly curated for visiting friends and relatives and visitors to Brisbane.
Ahead of our official program launch in July, we’ve revealed some of this year’s biggest events that celebrate iconic Brisbane landmarks from the river to rooftops, theatres to parks with stunning installations, new commissioned works, contemporary music and epic theatre.
There’s something for locals and visitors this September.
The four themed weekends are:
2—4 Sep
A Friday Festival welcome with Jumoo, the Festival’s popular smoking ceremony, followed by Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust on Saturday.
9—11 Sept
Brisbane’s Art Boat featuring The Spheres by Lindy Lee and Museum of the Moon at West Village are the highlights of this weekend
16—18 Sep
Theatre works of scale dominate this weekend including Girl from the North Country, Anita Heiss’s Tiddas, and Dead Puppet’s Society and Legs on the Walls epic Holding Achilles.
23—24 Sep
Rooftop revelry abounds in Raise the Roof, then the Festival closes with Queen’s Wharf Disco Wonderland at Riverstage.
If you have visitors or even are planning your own staycation, we’ve curated your three-day Brisbane itinerary across each weekend.
The full Brisbane Festival 2022 will be launched in early July. But to look after our close Brisbane Festival friends, you can purchase tickets to these shows before they are released for public sale on Monday 6 June.
