Events in Brisbane between Feb 2017 and May 2017

Brisbane will be bustling with fun-filled events and entertainment over the next few months. From music to comedy and lots of great markets, there is loads of action going on this summer and beyond.

The Brisbane River makes for a beautiful backdrop, winding through the busy centre and hosting a number of watersport activities.

The bars and restaurants that lie along the riverside are hugely popular with tourists and locals alike and you are never far from the next adventure when in Brisbane.

If you’re looking for hassle-free transport in and around the Brisbane area then why not organise great value Brisbane bus hire with a driver? Wherever you are planning on going, this is a really convenient way to travel.

Take a look at our blog for a roundup of some of the biggest events that are taking place over the coming months.

If you are looking for unique and hand-crafted gifts then this is the right place to find them. As well as the stalls that are set up in Stanley Street Plaza, you will find musicians playing live music and cuisine from street food stalls.

Brisbane is so popular with tourists and fun-seekers that it creates a real carnival like atmosphere. If you are looking to see the best of Brisbane, get down to some of these exciting events and get out and about in the city.

Due to the busy nature of the city it can sometimes mean that transport is a bit of a nightmare.

 

Brisbane is Australia’s third most populous city and is heaving with people. Getting around the centre is made easier if you like to hire bikes (you can pick them up at one bike station and drop off at another) or you can take a boat to cross the river.

If you are looking to take a slightly longer journey then you may be best to book coach hire in Brisbane, as it is one of the most reliable ways of getting to events.

Coach Hire is a well respected transport company that specialises in getting people to their events.
