A new festival is adding some cheek to your early summer nights. Wonderland celebrates the sultry, seductive, anarchic and entertaining, with carny folk, comedy stars and singing sirens.
Overview
Get into the festive spirit, Brisbane: Wonderland is a-coming. No, not the white kind, even if Christmas is just around the corner. With the city’s current scorching, stormy heat, winter isn’t part of the equation.
Instead, for the next two weeks, Brisbane Powerhouse plays host to all things odd and amazing. A new festival making its maiden outing, Wonderland celebrates the sultry, seductive, anarchic and entertaining, in an event tailor-made for late summer evenings spent by the river. We’re talking carny folk, circus performers, burlesque, barely clad men, comedy stars and singing sirens as the iconic New Farm venue transforms into a nighttime playground.
The inaugural program is bustling with shows to see, so we’re here to help. What weird and wonderful offerings should you rush to? Here's five to start with.
