Bulimba Festival 2016
Condensed and crammed with oh-so-much goodness.
Overview
You've gotta love a street party. No, seriously — given the number of them that happen around Brisbane each year, it's impossible not to. Everyone has always had a soft spot for Bulimba Festival, though. It's a reason to head to the inner-east's best-known roadway and eat, drink, listen to music and just hangout, after all.
Bulimba Festival also offers up a guessing game, of the "what's it going to be like this year?" variety. In 2013, it was a one-day affair, while 2015's shindig spread out the celebrations over a week. For 2016's event, it's back in short but sweet — or condensed and crammed with oh-so-much goodness — territory.
Tunes-wise, that includes Asta, Mallrat, Northeast Party House, The Badloves and The Delta Riggs, aka that phrase we all know and love: "something for everyone". Elsewhere, expect over 100 food trucks and markets in addition to the bricks-and-mortar stores already lining the street, with the bulk of the fun taking place around Barcadia and Oxford 152. That's what happens when two of the local pubs spearhead proceedings.
