Island Vibe Festival

Overview

North Stradbroke Island is a truly magical place. It’s only thirty kilometres from Brisbane, but the boat ride there adds a bit more difficulty into the journey. However, it also keeps it a bit special, a bit different from your average beach location (see: Surfers Paradise, which is anything but).

A weekend lounging at Straddie is a truly special pleasure, but a weekend lounging at Straddie and listening to while listening to amazing music and enjoying cultural experiences from all over the world is more than a special pleasure, it is a pleasure with a capital P.  This is what the Island Vibe festival offers!

Now up to its 6^th incarnation, Island Vibe has grown from a great idea to a major event on Stradbroke Island each year.  The intimate festival attracts talent from across the globe, as well as featuring fresh locally grown music and culture.  The festival tag line of ‘three days of Soul, Reggae, Dub and Island Culture’ sounds like the perfect getaway to me. Headlining this year’s festival is Chali 2Na from J5 and Blue King Brown, as well as a host of other amazing bands, plus exotic dance troupes, saucy cabaret, delicious food, craft markets and workshops so you can’t possibly get bored.

The weather’s warming up and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the change in seasons than to soak in some sweet Island Vibes.
