Things To Do This Weekend 27 Feb - 1 Mar
This weekend laugh yourself stupid at the Brisbane Comedy Festival, watch the best short films from Oz and around the world, view some amazing never before seen photos of Brisbane’s golden age, celebrate the Lunar New Year Vietnamese style and take in our whimsical and funny Film of the Week.
Then get to know another neighbourhood with one of our best neighbourhood walks.
For something new, fill up on pastries from an eastside artisan bakery, cosy up with an all day breakfast in Paddington’s cute new café, dine at the Paddo’s just opened restaurant and bar or take a trek south to a charming rustic country style café in a colonial village.
And for families there’s some fun activities happening, including a free dive-in movie, a steam train ride around the city and the Octonauts live on stage.
