Overview

Experience everything India has on offer at Brisbane's week-long Encounters Festival. Let the tantalising tastes and aromas of fresh, handmade food tease you while fall in love with the sounds of a solo sitar.

Southbank will be transformed for seven days from early morning till midnight with vibrant colours and exquisite Indian imagery. Seasoned India-lovers and adventorous armchair-travellers will be able to immerse themselves in bursts of Bollywood, fragrances and myriad musical styles through more than 50 concerts and masterclasses.

From film buffs to self-proclaimed food critics, the Encounters Festival Program will have an activity and event for every taste, interest and generation. For the music lovers, opera, orchestras and world-class solosist. For families and children, free community events in the Parklands. And for those who can handle the hottest of spices, an adventure through some of the best restaurants and cafes.

Join the bustling parade of Indian celebration and experience at this year's Encounters Festival.
