Cosplay and Cuisine Combine at Mt Gravatt’s Anime Street Food Night

Anime fans, food truck lovers and cosplay communities across Brisbane are gearing up for a high-energy evening at the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds, where Mt Gravatt Street Food will bring pop culture and street eats together in one of the city’s most colourful community events this winter.



Community Spirit and Cosplay Culture

The Anime Cosplay Brisbane – Food Truck Festival is set to take place on Saturday, 7 June, from 4pm to 9pm. With an entry fee of $4 for adults and free admission for kids 16 and under, the event promises to be an affordable, family-friendly night out. Pets are not permitted.

Hundreds are expected to arrive in costume for the cosplay parade and best-dressed prizes, with the event bringing together Brisbane’s anime and gaming fans in the friendly, local atmosphere Mt Gravatt markets are known for. The night will feature live J-pop, themed performances and a focus on connecting fans, families and local creatives.

Food Trucks and International Flavours

The festival’s food trucks will serve Japanese favourites like ramen and takoyaki, alongside international options including Korean fried chicken, churros and bubble tea. The line-up is curated to suit all ages and tastes, from comfort food to more adventurous bites.

Vendors will be spaced out to help reduce wait times, with covered areas available in case of rain. Last year’s anime night drew large crowds despite wet weather, showing strong local interest in these themed events.

Shopping, Soundtracks and Support for Locals

Beyond food and cosplay, the Otaku Market will feature fan art, anime merch and collectibles, giving local artists and small retailers a space to showcase their work. The market is known for supporting creative talent and small businesses in a relaxed, community setting.

Soundtracks from popular anime series will play throughout the night, enhancing the immersive experience. Visitors are encouraged to bring their cameras, wear comfortable shoes, and arrive early to beat the crowds and secure parking.

A Local Favourite Returns

Mt Gravatt Street Food has built a loyal following with its community-first weekend events, and this themed night continues that tradition. With a focus on accessibility, culture and local flavour, it’s shaping up as a standout event this season.
