Parents take note: the Easter long weekend isn't part of the school holiday break. The school holidays are later this year, running from 5 to 14 April.
However, there's still plenty happening over the four days of Easter. Browse the events below.
If you're staying in, why not cook up a storm? Our recipes section will inspire you - try making your own hot cross buns.
Don't fancy cooking? We've got the pick of Brisbane's tastiest takeaways and fresh seafood shops to help you make the most of your Good Friday.
Long weekends are a great time to do those odd jobs around the house, or to start that renovation project you've been meaning to knock off.
Or make the most of it - find things to see and do, catch a movie, take in a show, go to a gig, head to the Cultural Centre, or visit the Andy Warhol exhibition before it closes on 30 March.
