The BUg is a weekly Brisbane acoustic/folk music concert evening held generally every Tuesday (except for the Christmas/New Period) at the New Farm Bowls Club, 969 Brunswick Street, opposite New Farm Park.

The Australian Italian Festival is celebrated annually and is a fantastic event that promotes, showcases and celebrates the cultural attributes of Italian migrants and descendants in the Hinchinbrook Shire and Australia.

Over the weekend, the TYTO Parklands will be transformed into a full-scale piazza with nonstop, world-class entertainment and competitions. It celebrates all things Italian – Food, Wine, and Song with Market Stalls, a Historical display, Spaghetti and Pizza eating challenges, a Greasy Pole Challenge, Pizza Twirling, play a game of Bocce and much more.

The 2023 entertainment will feature Paul Tabone returning to Australia from his latest overseas performances. Also, dance away to the traditional Italian folk band, Zumpa, Cosima De Vito, Fortunato and his band, Attori and many more. Would you like to learn traditional Italian dance? We have Carina Dancers and Taranta Meanjin Brisbane, who will run traditional dancing displays and workshops. Or would you like to learn how to cook like an Italian? The cooking demonstrations return this year.

For the children, there are free amusement rides, a live puppet show, and a circus workshop; Prima Spada will be there with their fencing demonstration and other exciting events. On-site will be market stalls, homemade, mouth-watering Italian food from professional chefs and the best local Italian Nonnas on sale!

The Festival is run by volunteers and is a celebration of our cultural heritage.

Gareth Mewes, Andre Bonetti, Reuben Johson 11.20am - Zumpa Lizzie Flynn writes songs that blend a little satirical storytelling with a lot of joyful emotion. She has been a vocalist and songwriter for a variety of bands and theatrical productions, and has performed at music festivals throughout Australia, including The Planting (Woodford 2018), Maleny Music Festival (2018), Fairbridge Festival (2019) Tablelands Folk Festival (2018) and Illawarra Folk Festival (2019, 2020). Zumpa takes you on a musical journey to forgotten Italian fishing villages, moonlit olive groves and a hard life under a hot sun where peasants play music to celebrate life with a fierce sense of humour. While still attending Brisbane State High, Ella Macrokanis has already won professional supporting screen acting roles, most recently in the SBS mini drama series, Safe Harbour, alongside Phoebe Tonkin and Ewen Leslie. For Ella, who was taught music by Lizzie as a twelve-year-old student at West End State Primary school, ‘Ms Flynn’ provided the inspiration and encouragement to take an artistic career seriously, so there is a truthful connection between the two in this production.
