Brisbane revellers – get ready for the party to end all parties. The Caxton Street Seafood Festival is back, bigger and better than ever before. So gather your friends and family and head to one of Brisbane’s most popular street parties.
Enjoy the buzz while tantalising your tastebuds with a delectable array of seafood, wine and beer. Sit back and listen to some of Australia’s hottest music acts at Brisbane’s most famous party precinct – Caxton Street.
The festival runs from 11am until 10pm on Sunday 4 May (Labour Day Weekend). And this year, a new and improved ticketing system makes it easier than ever to gain entry. By bringing in the ticketing experts, Ticketek, this year’s ticketing system is designed to reduce the queues as much as possible, meaning you can spend more time inside enjoying the festival celebrations. And while you’re having a great time soaking up the festival atmosphere, you can feel even better knowing that $2 from every ticket sold will be donated to The Courier-Mail Children’s Fund.
Tickets on sale from 2 April with limited tickets available at the gate.
