Brisbane Welcomes Bulimba Festival
This August, after a five year absence, Brisbane will welcome back a community festival for the Bulimba area. Bulimba Festival, will be held on Sunday August 28 between 10:00am and 4:00pm. This community event will feature all of the festival highlights adored by the citizens of Brisbane. During the day Oxford Street will be closed to showcase a variety of market stalls, food, fashion design and buskers.
The Bulimba Festival is free to the public with highlights including headlining act Australian icons ‘Mental as Anything’ and Ross Wilson from ‘Daddy Cool’ with support from local Brisbane band ‘Prefontaine’. Everyone is encouraged to come along and sing along to the classics including ‘Live it Up’ and ‘Eagle Rock’. Bulimba has not had its own local festival since 2006, which was the last year of the ‘Bulimba Carnivale’. Arranged by locals, the event was held annually in April. Queenslanders have always had an appreciation of community events community events attracting large crowds. In the past, ‘Bulimba Carnivale’ was known to attract crowds in excess of 15,000. A new annual event will benefit not just the local community, but Brisbane
city itself.
All proceeds from the event will assist the Returned and Services League of Australia (Queensland Branch) to support the current and ex‐service Australian Defence Force community of Queensland.
