The Brisbane Festival is an annual arts and cultural event in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, usually held in September each year. The festival is known for its rich and diverse programs, including music, dance, drama, visual arts and many other forms of performing arts. The Brisbane Festival attracts artists and audiences from all over the world and is an important platform for showcasing international and local artistic talents. One of the highlights of the festival is the fireworks display at its opening and closing, especially the famous "Riverfire", a spectacular fireworks show that is usually performed over the Brisbane River and attracts a large number of spectators. The Brisbane Festival is not only a stage for showcasing art, but also an opportunity to promote cultural exchange and community engagement. During the event, various events will be held in multiple venues and public spaces in the city, making the entire city vibrant and creative.

During this event you will build you own rain barrel to collect water for gardening and other non-potable sources.
