Bike skills sessions, circus acts, and Easter orienteering are part of the more than 400 free and affordable activities in Brisbane Council’s 2025 Easter Holiday program.
This Easter, more than 80 per cent of the school holiday program from Brisbane Council is free. And there is something for all ages and interests.
“We have hundreds of free and affordable activities across libraries, parks, museums and environment centres these school holidays,” said Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner. “Easter is a special time, and we want to make sure everyone can get out and enjoy our incredible city, while keeping costs down.”
