What's on in Brisbane

Brisbane hosts some of the country' most exciting events.

Brisbane Queer Film Festival (April)
The annual Brisbane Queer Film Festival is the third largest queer film festival in the country and the largest in the region. The festival showcases shorts, documentaries and feature length pieces from around the world, by and for the gay community.

Caxton Street Seafood and Wine Festival (May)
What started as a modest street festival has ballooned into one of the most popular festivals on the Australian social calendar. Held on the Sunday of the Labour Day weekend, more than 15,000 festival goers make their way to Brisbane for the succulent seafood, elegant wines and three stages full of the country’s hottest musicians.

Goomeri Pumpkin Festival (May)
Pulpy entertainment and good ol’ fashioned tomfoolery come together at the annual Goomeri Pumpkin Festival, only second to the legendary Great Australian Pumpkin Roll. Hundreds of market stalls line the streets selling more pumpkin produce such as pumpkin soup, pie and even pumpkin fudge!
