Brisbane Festival Has Landed At Westfield Chermside – Here’s How To Soak It Up

Paint the town

By Bianca Licina | 11th September 2025

Brisbane Festival is everywhere right now — the colour, the music, the sparkle — and Westfield Chermside has officially joined the party. That’s right, the northside’s shopping mecca isn’t just about bags and bites this September, it’s a full-blown festival destination.

Think bold installations by the world-renowned creative duo Craig & Karl splashed across the outdoor dining precinct, live music dropping in under the Dome, and a one-night-only extravaganza, Pop Art After Dark, lighting up the centre with performances, giveaways, eats, drinks, and fireworks.

The best part? You don’t need a ticket. You can slip from dinner with friends straight into a live gig, or swing by on your Saturday shop and find yourself front row for some of Brisbane Festival’s most electric acts. It’s easy, it’s free, and it’s proof that this year’s festival energy is seeping into every corner of the city.

So, no excuses. Brisbane Festival isn’t just happening across the river — it’s happening at your local. See the art, hear the music, stay for the fireworks, and soak up that festival feeling, all while sneaking in a little retail therapy.
