A family-friendly party on the peninsula!

Join us at the University of Queensland's green and leafy Great Court in St Lucia for a big afternoon Block Party full of family-friendly entertainment, exploration and community connection.

Roll out a blanket, craft a feast from the range of food and drink trucks, and soak in the tunes of Feelin’ the Groove with the UQ Saxophone Ensemble, folk-pop duo Cali Rd and the captivating Sue Ray live on the Brisbane Festival Stage.

Go for a wander and explore UQ's diverse facilities with tours including UQ Art Museum, Anthropology Museum, RD Milns Antiquities Museum, Fryer Library and more.

Get hands on and interact with demonstrations and a range of workshops to explore your creative side. A great option for Father's Day! 

St Lucia Block Party activities for the whole family include:

  • Enjoy the large grassed areas of the Great Court and the performances on the Brisbane Festival stage

  • Play on the interactive artwork DEMOS (Sandstone) by Andreas Angelidakis

  • Multiple drop in workshops for adults and children across the Great Court and Museums
