Let’s be honest.

A good festival needs music.

But a great festival gives you the music, the food, the people, the atmosphere and those little moments you end up talking about for weeks afterwards.

That is what Liberti Festival 2026 is bringing to Logan on Saturday, 26 September.

It is a full-day celebration of African and Pacific music, food, culture and community at the Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct.

And whether you are coming with your friends, your family or just showing up ready for a good time, there is a lot waiting for you.

First of all, the music

Of course, we have to start here.

Liberti Festival will have live performances, DJs and cultural showcases happening across two stages: the Outdoor Main Stage and the Butterbox Theatre.

The music will move through Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip-hop, soul, R&B, reggae, dancehall, jazz, spoken word and more.

So yes, there will be plenty of opportunities to dance.

But there will also be space to discover new artists, enjoy live bands and experience sounds from across African and Pacific cultures.

Basically, wear comfortable shoes.

Come hungry

This is not the day to eat before leaving the house.

Liberti Festival will bring together African, Pacific and international food vendors serving a range of dishes throughout the day.

You can enjoy food you already know and love, or finally try that dish you have seen online but never ordered.

Food is such a big part of culture, and at Liberti, it is part of the whole experience.

Come for the music. Stay because you found a new favourite meal.

There will be plenty to explore

When you need a break from dancing or eating, head over to the festival market.

You will find local businesses, creatives and vendors selling everything from fashion and jewellery to art, beauty products, crafts and cultural goods.

It is a chance to find something unique while supporting small businesses from the community.

Just a warning: you may arrive saying you are only looking and leave carrying several shopping bags.

It is not only about entertainment

Some of the best festival moments happen away from the main stage.

Liberti Festival will also include workshops, community conversations, cultural showcases and interactive activities.

These spaces give people a chance to learn, share stories and connect with the cultures being celebrated.

You may come for an artist you love and leave having discovered something completely new.

That is part of the magic.

Yes, you can bring the kids

Liberti Festival is an all-ages event, so nobody has to miss out.

There will be activities and entertainment for children, including arts and crafts, face painting, cultural performances, workshops and other family-friendly experiences.

Children aged 13 and under can enter for free when accompanied by a ticket-holding parent or guardian.

So parents, you do not have to choose between attending the festival and finding someone to watch the kids.

Bring them along.

Everyone is welcome

Liberti Festival proudly celebrates African and Pacific cultures, but the invitation is open to everyone.

You do not need to come from a particular background to enjoy the music, try the food, join a workshop or have a dance.

Come curious.

Come ready to connect.

Getting there is easy

Liberti Festival will be held at the Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct in Logan.

The venue has both outdoor festival spaces and the indoor Butterbox Theatre, along with accessible facilities.

It is also located a short walk from Kingston Railway Station.

Even better, free travel across the Queensland Rail network is included with a valid festival ticket.

So you can leave the car at home, enjoy the day and not stress about the drive back.

So, what is the plan?

Save the date.

Choose your festival outfit.

Start thinking about who you are bringing.

Then come ready for a full day of music, food, culture, shopping, dancing and community.
