Experiences and culture
Brisbane City Council is dedicated to fostering an innovative and creative community and to providing opportunities for everyone to participate in the cultural life of our diverse and vibrant city.
Take a walk through the city or suburbs to see public art, watch a show in the Skydome at Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, enjoy music and performances at Riverstage, or check out how we're lighting up our city. See the creative events calendar for up and coming arts and cultural activities in Brisbane. Most of these activities are free and suitable for all ages. Keep connected with our free Wi-Fi available in parks and public spaces across Brisbane, Council libraries and on CityCats.
