Mt Gravatt Set to Host Brisbane’s Biggest Family Carnival

Thousands of thrill-seekers and families are expected to flock to Mt Gravatt as the Brisbane Thrill Festival transforms Westfield Mt Gravatt into a sprawling carnival ground, offering an unprecedented array of rides and attractions for just $5 entry.



The 10-day extravaganza is scheduled to run from 9th to 18th August 2024, promising an affordable and action-packed experience for visitors of all ages.

Festival organiser Avid Leisure has curated a diverse lineup of over a dozen rides, including crowd favourites such as the Ferris Wheel, Dodgem Cars, and the hair-raising Slingshot. For the younger attendees, gentler options like the Wacky Worm and Paw Patrol rides ensure no one misses out on the fun.

“We’re thrilled to bring this level of excitement to Mt Gravatt,” said an Avid Leisure spokesperson. “Our goal is to provide unforgettable memories for families without breaking the bank.”

Beyond the rides, the festival boasts an impressive array of attractions, including sideshow games, free entertainment, and a variety of food trucks serving up classic carnival treats. Showbag enthusiasts won’t be disappointed, with organisers promising “the biggest and best bags around.”

Local resident Sarah Thompson expressed her excitement: “It’s fantastic to see such a large-scale event coming to our community. I can’t wait to take my kids and experience all the rides and games together.”



Preparations for the Mt Gravatt festival are underway, and community leaders are proactively anticipating a positive impact on local businesses and increased foot traffic. The festival’s convenient location next to Westfield Mt Gravatt is expected to attract visitors from across Brisbane and beyond, providing a constructive boost to the area.
