Overview
Who wouldn't want to live in a community that throws a celebration to say hello its new arrivals? If you happen to call anywhere near Annerley, Greenslopes or any adjacent inner-south suburbs home, then that's exactly where you happen to live. And WELCOMEfest is that greeting party.
In fact, WELCOMEfest offers friendly and hearty salutations to all fresh inhabitants — not just of the area, city or state, but of the country too. The annual shindig is part of World Refugee Week, and ranks among Australia’s largest multicultural festivals. Bringing Brisbane’s diverse cultural communities together is its aim, as is showcasing everyone’s contribution to the nation.
More than 17,000 people attend each year, so this really is a festival that the whole region gets behind. International cuisine, world music, dance performances, DJs, workshops, sports — WELCOMEfest really has it all. And like all good get-togethers, there's even an afterparty.
