LOCALe is run by Brisbane City Council in collaboration with emerging event producers. LOCALe events positively activate Council's youth skate park facilities, engage & challenge the local community and promote community groups and activities.

• The events combine a major skate/BMX competition with an entertainment/activities program that showcases youth culture and invites the local community to get in and have a go.

• Families can get involved in such activities as circus workshops, drumming circles, kite making, DJ lessons, sticker making and hip hop dancing workshops.• Nationally recognised bands bring great attention to the event and provide local bands with a great platform to get their own music to new audiences.

• The events create local opportunities and local community groups are sourced to provide food and entertainment wherever possible.

Queensland Multicultural Festival

We went to Roma Street Parklands in Brisbane last Sunday to celebrate the QLD multicultural festival. Ethnic foods are sold in different areas of the park. The homemade ice cream though expensive was so delicious. Different stage were setup for performances. We went home with loads of different variety of free gourmet potato chips. :-)
