MOSAIC Multicultural Festival 2023
Brisbane's multicultural festival is back for a jam-packed day of food, music and dance.
Overview
What's more spectacular than spending time in Brisbane's great outdoors? Heading outside for an event dedicated to the city's multicultural community. Taking place at Roma Street Parklands from 10am–5pm on Sunday, September 17, that's the MOSAIC Multicultural Festival through and through — and in 2023, it's part of Brisbane Festival as well.
The returning event will unleash a feast of world music, dance and food. Multiple stages will showcase performances, songs and cultural storytelling, including a Welcome to Country to kick off proceedings, plus a new program of workshops weaved into the fun.
When you're not paying your respects, listening to live tunes or learning a new skill, hit up the Cultural Kitchen for cooking demonstrations — it'll see refugee and migrant community cooks whipping up a traditional dish while sharing their settlement stories.
Markets will be selling handmade wares, and an array of international cuisine will also be on offer. So, in-between checking out the stages and demos, you can eat and drink your way through a range of food stalls.
Entry is free, but bring your wallet for the markets and culinary offerings.
