Brisbane’s Ukrainian Festival
Brisbane is invited to a day of culture, music, food, flower-crown making, and dancing at Brissie’s annual Ukrainian Festival on Saturday, 23rd August. This free event supports a great cause by raising funds for those in need.
This year’s festival, organised by the Ukrainian Community of Queensland Inc. (UCQ), promises to be the biggest yet, offering Queenslanders a day of cultural immersion at the Ukrainian Club Brisbane

Kids Activities: Engage the little ones with fun-filled activities including face painting, flower crown making, and a giant inflatable obstacle course.
