Generate Festival

Overview

Laser shows, live tunes, learning to make crafty wares and looking at art: they're just some of the fun on offer at southeast Queensland's newest festival. When Generate takes over the Caboolture Town Square on October 21 and 22, it'll do so with installations, outdoor galleries, roving performers, food trucks and more. Yep, it's enough to make you head north of Brisbane for the weekend.

Highlights include a kaleidoscopic display of lights, Brisbane-based percussion group Soundstruck doing their stuff, belly dancing, a pair of giant headphones and a man made out of milk crates — and that's just the beginning. Throw a sculpture trail, huge photo frames just demanding to feature in your selfies, discovering how to turn t-shirts into totes and taking part in a street art workshop into the mix, and just try not to feel creative. Or entertained for that matter.
