Brisbane Festival opens tomorrow and runs right through to 26 September. Festival Village at South Bank is the heart of it, with the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent, live music, workshops, family activities and the Giant Sing Along. Most of it is free. From Fortitude Valley it is a quick train or CityCat ride, so you can drop in for an hour or make a whole night of it.
Planning a few days around the Festival? Stay 3 nights or more and save 10% with code DIRECTCBH10, booked direct.
From first light to after dark, the city's beating heart.
