Brisbane Thai Festival 2016
Celebrate the sights, sounds and tastes of southeast Asia at Brisbane's largest Thai-focused event.
Overview
Keen to celebrate the sights, sounds and tastes of Thailand, but can't make the trip abroad at the moment? The annual Brisbane Thai Festival has you covered, whether you're lamenting your inability to head to southeast Asia, getting your fix in-between sight-seeing visits, or simply a fan of Thai culture, cuisine and traditions.
The event is expected to attract more than 15,000 patrons, so you certainly won't be alone. Don't worry — with food, performances, Muay Thai demonstrations and a Singha beer garden on offer, there's plenty for everyone at Brisbane's largest Thai-focused event.
Indulging in all the Massaman curries you can eat, iced teas you can drink and traditional dances you can watch is only part of the equation, of course. As run by the Thai-Australian Association of Queensland Inc, the festival aims to promote and strengthen ties and harmony between the Thai and Australian communities. By heading along, you'll not only get a feast of food and entertainment — you'll be doing your cross-cultural part.
