Festivals

 

In Brisbane, we have outstanding parks and venues for holding festivals and outdoor events.  Events that are small in size may require a booking or a temporary food licence. Click on links below to access information on Brisbane City Council parks and venues. Queensland Hire can then provide all infrastructure needs for the festival or event: marquees, tables, chairs, market umbrellas, etc.
