Island Vibe Festival 2018

Soak up the sounds of Reggae, Roots, Bass & Island Soul

Island Vibe Festival is a 4 day multi-faceted celebration of Music, Arts and Island Culture. Our festival has become Australia’s premier boutique Reggae and Roots event and is an all-ages, family friendly event. Featuring over 80 mighty reggae, roots, soul and electronic acts - including Indigenous and Pacific Islander cultural groups, the program also offers a diverse range of workshops, talks and activities - including traditional weaving, contemporary and traditional dance, eco workshops, world music, live painting and screen-printing.

Location

Just 90 mins from Brisbane by car or public transport, Island Vibe takes place on North Stradbroke Island in South-East Queensland. The festival site is located beside the stunning 'Home Beach' at Point Lookout, allowing festival-goers the opportunity to bask in the pristine waters of the South Pacific between performances.
