Laura Street Festival 2014

Overview

Highgate Hill’s Laura Street Festival is really and truly one of a kind. Not only is it the only festival in Brisbane that prides itself on a hummus competition but it’s also a community event hosted by its friendly residents all in hope of showing off their wonderful, caring and super-festive neighbourhood.

In its fourth year, Laura Street Festival is amping up the music, workshops, art, poetry, food and performance, with a nine-hour-long showcase of the lot. Groove along with blues, soul, jazzercists The Recliners, sway to the sounds of Virginia Sook, boot-scoot to the Hinterlanders and eat to your heart's content at the various food stalls. Feel free to dip everything in hummus; there will be plenty.

For festival-bound fashionistas, there will be a free clothes swap — trade in something old and adopt something new — and for all those who need something a little more eccentric to get them in the mood, there will be an electronic music stage all day.

Check out all the exciting things Laura Street Festival has on show at its website. The day kicks off at 1pm and rounds up at 10pm. Take your dog, take some cash, take your best attempt at hummus and have a wild time in a wilder neighbourhood.
