Brisbane Powerhouse: A Full Day of Art, Food, and Riverside Fun

Brisbane Powerhouse, a beautifully repurposed 1920s power station, has become Queensland’s vibrant home of art and culture. Nestled along the Brisbane River on Yagara Country, this unique venue hosts over 1,250 annual events, from comedy and visual arts to music, theatre, and film. Its diverse program includes family-friendly performances during school holidays, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

With New Farm Park right next door, you can make a full day of it—picnic under the park’s iconic jacarandas or let the kids play before heading to the Powerhouse for a show or art exhibit. And with the New Farm City Cat terminal just a short walk or scooter ride away, the Brisbane Powerhouse is as accessible as it is entertaining, making it the perfect destination for a full day of riverside fun and culture.
