The 2016 West End Festival is a curated community Festival which celebrates and promotes the vibrant and diverse West End community across a range of platforms. This year’s week-long Festival will run between 22-29 October with some subsidiary events included either side.
West End Festival received over 150 submissions through our website, social media platforms and email. To let you know that there
are many fantastic once off and rare opportunities to see many local artists showcase their talents is an understatement. A full list
with selected shows and main events to follow below.
West End’s newest green space formally dubbed Thomas Street Park, will launch as Bunyapa Park to be opened and celebrated through
sharing an afternoon picnic. Come and learn the significance of the naming by Uncle Sam Watson – Saturday 22 October, 2:30pm –
6:00pm.
Main event highlights include the much loved annual Kurilpa Derby in its 9th year and the 2nd Annual Beggars Banquet - Sunday 23
October. Both events will utilise Boundary and Russell Streets in conjunction with associated businesses, venues and public spaces for
an action-packed day and night program of live music, arts, cultural, food, feasting and smaller community events from 10am to 10pm.
For the first time this year, West End Festival and West End Community House have teamed up and are offering an amazing week long
program of events at People’s Park (Boundary Street Kiosk) working with multiple local community organisations, local legends and
artists inviting you to experience and participate in a range of workshops, forums, performances and more.
The last major street event and closure is in partnership with the Latin American Community Association of Queensland (LACAQLD).
You’ll experience the colourful, creative and sensory pleasures of Latin American culture with Brisbane Fiesta Latina “Day of the Dead”
celebrations - Saturday 29 October, 3:00pm – 10:00pm on Russell Street with after party festivities at Archive Beer Boutique.
West End Festival proudly acknowledges the traditional owners the Jagera and Turrbal Peoples - past, present, emerging and future
leaders. With sorry business, we humbly pay our deepest respects to Aunty Munlinjarli Dillion, a dear founder and ambassador of the
annual Kurilpa Derby who passed 30 September 2016.
