Riverfestival celebrates the Brisbane River by taking our iconic river
and its tributaries as a starting point for the festival program.
The program highlights the indelible mark the Brisbane River and water has on our culture as a symbol of how we live. Why else do we call ourselves the people from the river city? Come and share experiences and stories, both local and global, over the 10 days of your Spring festival.
Be inspired, engaged and entertained as we explore the role of
Brisbane's river in the fabric of our environment and culture and
delight in the lifestyle it affords us.
