For three days, South Bank will be a haven of peaceful celebration and multicultural fun at the Buddha Birthday Festival.
From 29 April to 1 May see lion and dragon dances, make candlelight peace offerings and be amazed at the ice sculptures.
Other highlights include: rides and games for the kids, an Asian art and craft fair, fabulous vegetarian food from around the world, plus the bathing Buddha ritual which is open to all.
We all love fireworks and this year there will be two displays – one on Saturday 30 April at 9pm, and the other on Sunday 1 May at 7.30pm.
Celebrate the birth of Buddha in 600BC by taking part in Queensland’s largest community celebration. Last year, over 180,000 people were at the party.
