Each year Council hosts major festivals that bring together traditional and contemporary cultures through music and performance. Our annual QUT Urban Country Music Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and The Dreaming Festival attract audiences from around Australia.
In between these events, there are plenty of opportunities for residents to enjoy musical treats. From local rock bands, to community choral and orchestral performances, to celebrations of Indigenous culture and heritage, Moreton Bay Regional Council resounds with the universal language of music.
