Valley Fiesta Fridays

Overview

For more than two decades, Fortitude Valley has been home to a huge annual street party, with live tunes taking over its two malls, various bars and plenty of venues. That's the old Valley Fiesta. In 2019, the event has had a considerable revamp. Now, instead of jamming all your fun into a hectic couple of days, you can enjoy a free gig every Friday afternoon all-year-round.

You'll either need an arvo off work, a long lunch or a cruisy afternoon break, because these shows are happening from 2–4pm. Head to the Brunswick Street Mall and Chinatown Mall, as well as Bakery Lane and other spots around the suburb, with the lineup changing each week.

On the upcoming bill: Charlie Shay and Leo Altarelli on November 8, Sid Whitely and This New Light on November 15, Liam Norton, Maisy Taylor and The Brothers Calling on November 22, and The Letter Elle on November 29.

And yes, every great Friday ends with ace music. Every great weekend starts with it, too.
