Live Large

Overview

Say hello to Brisbane's newest festival, and prepare to heartily embrace its truly excellent aim. Live Large brings together the usual elements — food! music! markets! Brissie sunshine! — in an effort to offer a couple of great days out, as well as something more. Here, accessibility and showcasing folks of all abilities are in the spotlight.

Live Large has dubbed itself "Australia's first truly accessible festival", and it's endeavouring to back that up in two ways. Firstly, it wants to get people thinking about what it really means to live large and celebrate diversity. Secondly, ensuring the layout and facilities have been optimised to provide the best accessibility possible is 100% on the agenda.

Taking place at the South Bank Cultural Forecourt on April 15 and 16, the festival will feature tasty fare from Ze Pickle, Carolina Kitchen, The Bun Mobile, Dumpling Envy and How We Rolls , as well as performances by The Three Handed Beat Bandits, DefWill, William Barton, Rudely Interrupted, Sousltice, Inside Outside Dance Ensemble and Screech Theatre. Eat, be entertained, and then wander through markets selling candles, sweets, and other bits and pieces.
