The BrisAsia Festival is set to return over 18 days with more than 20 events promising authentic street food, bubble tea, a plethora of performances, and brand-new street art.
Newly commissioned artworks will be unveiled as part of the inaugural Lush on Fish Lane event this Saturday from 5-9pm. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a break-dance battle, live music, roving performers, and culinary delights from local Asian restaurants.

The following Saturday, tea drinkers will be well catered for at ParTEA, a market dedicated to their favourite beverage. Visitors can also have their fill of food while browsing local crafts at the Chinatown Mall market from 3-8pm.
You’ll be spoilt for choice on February 16, when you can dance into the night at Summer Party, a celebration of Asian pop-culture with a huge line-up of performers and entertainment.
The same day, the family-friendly Southside by Night, from 5-9pm, will feature the hottest cars, plus performances by top artists and DJs.
If you’ve overdone the authentic Asian street food, you can dance it all off the next day at Queensland’s largest street dance event, BrisAsia Dance.
Chinatown Mall will host ParTEA, a market featuring tea, food and local crafts.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the festival, across 11 suburbs, would embrace numerous cultures.
“Brisbane is an inclusive city, with more than a third of our residents born overseas – and that’s something to celebrate,” he said.
