Botanica Brisbane 2023
The 2023 event focuses on sustainability, with artists responding to the “Tread Softly” theme, which reflects on human impact on the environment over millennia.
Artists include Phoebe Paradise, Theatre of Thunder, and Keemon Williams. This year also features the first international artist, Noa Haim.
All these shining attractions will once again be combined with twilight strolls, performances, and children’s explorations. Visitors can also interact with the installations and enjoy food trucks and outdoor bars every evening. Grabbing a bite to eat after strolling through the festival is also a great idea!
No matter how you choose to enjoy it, get ready to stroll through Brisbane’s city centre and appreciate its natural beauty in a whole new way!
