Brisbane Open House 

Brisbane Open Hose will be held on the 13 & 14 July and in the 2024 program, they are doing things a little differently this year!

Below are the focal points for this year’s weekend:

  • The program will be geo-focused. This means that, predominantly, the program will be focused in inner-Brisbane. This is to provide audiences with easy access to as many Open House buildings as possible.
  • Thie year, the wonderful Villages of Brisbane will be integrated into the weekend program and this year the village will be New Farm. Open House will be working closely with the New Farm & Districts Historical Society, who are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year.
  • There will be two key hubs in the program: Thomas Dixon Centre – Queensland Ballet in West End and Brisbane Powerhouse – New Farmy.
