Quandamooka Festival 2026
Set against the island paradise backdrop of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), this multi-artform festival provides the special opportunity to experience the continuing culture of the Nughi, Nunukul, and Goenpul clans of Quandamooka firsthand.
The gathering will showcase a diverse lineup of cultural activities, Kunjiel (corroboree/ traditional dance), music performances, food, weaving, arts, crafts, markets, workshops, panel discussions, and more. All ages are welcome and tickets are free.
A short and easy ferry ride from the mainland, the festival is highly accessible from South East Queensland – only an hour’s drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
So whether you’re a local from Brisbane or visiting from afar, the festival promises an unforgettable cultural journey and a deeper understanding of Australia’s Indigenous heritage.
