Have a laugh in the park, check out the talent of local dancers or see a theatre show with a difference, there’s plenty on offer throughout the Moreton Bay Region as part of the Anywhere Festival.
If you haven’t heard of it before, Anywhere Festival is a globally unique and local cultural experience where visitors and locals can discover shows in nooks and crannies anywhere. Anywhere offers up a vision where artists can step away from the fringe and isolated performance spaces to be at the core of society by being pretty much anywhere.
Anywhere Festival has inspired many other festivals and practitioners, providing the framework and ideas that many have followed when COVID-19 restrictions closed theatres and the idea of performing in streets, outdoors in a non-traditional spaces became the only way.
The Anywhere Festival (May 13 - June 4) takes performances out of the traditional venues and into unexpected spaces. With more than 60 shows and events, there will be plenty of theatre, music, comedy, and dance for everyone to enjoy across the region! The festival will showcase local performers and international acts with emerging and established artists.
