The Art Boat

Sail from safe harbour into a night dreamscape.

Step aboard and immerse yourself in an unforgettable voyage through the heart of Brisbane. Against the stunning backdrop of the ever-expanding city skyline, journey along the iconic waterways, tracing the mighty banks that shape the Brisbane River.

The city ambience is remixed into decadent DJ sets soundtracking the extravaganza and punk that is burlesque, the drama and defiance of drag and the addictive and attention-grabbing power of circus.

The Art Boat, reimagined, is chartered and curated by the world-class local legends BRIEFS FACTORY with a collaborating entourage of artists from across the festival.

Let the Brisbane River be your guide as you delve into the party of the year, which brings you art, culture and connection aboard The Art Boat.

Matinee Cruises: On Saturdays and Sundays only, join us for a balmy 2pm cruise and dive into family fun holiday entertainment, where queer punk circus delights kids and adults alike!

Date Night: Elevate your Thursday evenings with Date Night, blending music and celebration keeping the energy high all night long.

Knock Off on Fridays: Sail away from the week that was with party vibes that kickstart your weekend in style.

Glam Saturdays: Sparkle harder on Saturday with an exuberant celebration of pride and glamour that dazzles and delights.

Unplugged Sunday: Relax and unwind with Unplugged Sundays, featuring chilled tunes, family-friendly fun, and maybe even a bingo game or two.

All aboard for a unique and memorable experience, the adventure starts now!

Our weekend Matinee Cruises are specifically programmed for families and children, however young people are welcome on all of The Art Boat under parental guidance and discretion, noting that evening shows may include performances for 18+ audiences.
