Arcadia

Overview

When is a festival event more than just a festival event? When it is a thrumming, buzzing hub of activity. In 2015, Brisbane Festival unveils Arcadia as the free-entry space that weird and wonderful dreams are made of. They're not calling it the Wild West meets Willy Wonka without good reason.

In an adult playground that occupies a site at South Bank more than five times the size of previous years, two performance tents, four bars, ten boutique food trucks and a host of activities will take up residence. Whether indulging in sassy new show Club Swizzle, entering an edible world at Fear & Delight, marvelling at pavement art at the 3D Chalk Walk, or just hanging out in the purpose-built, two-storey Little Creatures Treehouse is your thing, there's something here for everyone. Of course, don't miss the Big Festival Opening on September 5 — aka the perfect sampler of Bris Fest mayhem.
