With events across the city featuring everything from live music and food trucks to petting zoos and Easter egg hunts, there’s something for every family to enjoy. Whether you're looking for a free afternoon in the park or a ticketed Easter spectacular, here are three top events to add to your calendar.
Get the family together for a relaxed afternoon at New Farm Park as Bands in Parks presents the Easter Bunny Boogie. This free event is the perfect way to ease into the Easter spirit with a picnic in the park, accompanied by live performances from Bayside Brass, Rivercity Steel Band and South of the River Community Band.
The Easter Bunny will be roaming the grounds with chocolatey treats for the little ones, and furry friends are welcome too. With food trucks on hand and plenty of space to spread out and play, it’s an ideal setting for families to soak up the sunshine and celebrate Easter with music, food, and plenty of chocolate.
Looking for four days of Easter fun in one central spot? Victoria Park is hosting Brisbane’s Biggest Easter Weekend, offering families a vibrant celebration filled with games, entertainment, and community vibes.
From egg hunts and craft activities to Easter-themed photo ops, this event caters to all ages.
