#About the event

About the location

Alexandria Park is connected to the King St precinct within the Brisbane Showgrounds. A visit to King St has something for everyone – from casual to fine dining, coffee to cocktails and even a spot of shopping. You’ll find art everywhere you turn that celebrates the rich 147-year history of the Showgrounds as well as welcoming new modern stories, creating a real and authentic experience for everyone who visits.
