Island Vibe Festival is an annual event that celebrates art, music and culture over three days.
Held on Stradbroke Island, It includes art exhibitions, interactive workshops, circus performers and craft markets.
It's 90 minutes from Brisbane and is held in the park beside Home Beach. This means festivalgoers have a stunning view of the beach and can chill out between performances and activities.
Morgyn Quinn, the festival's director, has put together a list of five must-do activities while at Island Vibe. Most include dancing, so get warmed up!
