For instance, not one but two outdoor music festivals are taking place. Ability Fest in Victoria Park has elevated viewing platforms, quiet zones and sensory areas along with performances by Cub Sport, Ocean Alley, Dewbs and Mikalah Watego.
Meanwhile Meg Mac, May-A, The Buoys and Daste headline the free Valley Fiesta on Brunswick Street, Winn Lane and Bakery Lane.
Brisbane International Film Festival is on again and this weekend’s highlights include Anora, a debauched story set in New York City; Maria, with Angelina Jolie playing opera diva Maria Callas; and zombie kangaroo movie The Red.
