festivals

Queensland's geographical and cultural diversity is reflected in its festivals. From the far north to the west and the south, festivals form a significant part of the economic, cultural and social fabric of the State's towns and cities. Festivals can generate significant income for community groups and businesses. They are often run by volunteer groups, such as Rotary or Apex, or a committee of community members in conjunction with local government.

Shared memories of places form the threads that people everywhere use to weave their lives and histories together.
