Meet local heroes at the Brisbane Emergency Services Expo in Chermside this October 2026. Perfect for Brisbane families, this free community day at 7th Brigade Park features interactive emergency vehicles, live Paw Patrol shows, face painting, jumping castles, and practical storm-season preparation tips for kids and parents.
Brisbane Emergency Services Expo 2026
The Brisbane Emergency Services Expo is a free day of fun and learning. Visitors can meet emergency services workers, check out emergency vehicles up close, and pick up simple tips for getting their home and family ready for severe weather.
Now in its fifth year, the Expo brings emergency services, government agencies and community groups together in one place. There will be interactive displays, hands-on activities and demonstrations, plus entertainment for the kids including Paw Patrol shows and meet-and-greets, face painting, a jumping castle, and food trucks.
It’s also a great chance to learn how to put together an emergency plan and kit ahead of storm season.
The event will be held at 7th Brigade Park, Chermside. Parking is limited, with spaces available off Reinhold Crescent and on nearby streets, plus four accessible spots on Delaware Street. Public transport is a good option too.
Food trucks, ice cream and a sausage sizzle will be available, and free water refill stations will be on site. Visitors are also welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic drinks (it’s an alcohol-free event), along with a picnic blanket for the shade. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome, as long as they’re comfortable around crowds and noise.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a hat, sunscreen and a reusable water bottle.
