This summer the world’s hottest events are coming to Brisbane.

Be part of the courtside action and see the heavy-hitters of tennis play it out on the court at the Brisbane International, or see the best of the world’s Rugby League battling it out for the world cup title at Suncorp Stadium. And if that’s not enough, you can catch a whole summer of cricket with the international all stars pitching their best at The Gabba.

Art lovers – Brisbane has you covered too. See contemporary Australian artwork at the Optimism exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art, or the powerful Cirque Du Soliel circus for some colour and culture. These are just some of the events in Brisbane’s diverse summer shorts program.

And if that’s all too much, take some time out to discover the attractions, dining and entertainment in our buzzing urban villages.

With so much to choose from, we’re lucky the days are long.
